NZ Captain Devine To Miss Sri Lanka Home Series To Prioritise Her Well Being

By IANS News February 17, 2025 • 09:42 AM View: 727

The White Ferns: New Zealand women captain Sophie Devine will not take part in the series against Sri Lanka in March as she continues to prioritise her well-being, the country's cricket board said on Monday.

The news follows Devine’s decision last month to withdraw from the Super Smash and the 2025 Women’s Premier League after receiving professional advice.

Liz Green, NZC’s Head of Women’s High Performance, reiterated the importance of player well-being. "We are fully supportive of Sophie’s decision to not take part in the upcoming series,” said Green.
