ODI World Cup: New Zealand captain Sophie Devine says she is determined to savour every moment of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, which will be her final appearance in one-day internationals.

The 36-year-old all-rounder confirmed she will retire from ODIs following the tournament in India and Sri Lanka, bringing down the curtain on a glittering international career that has lasted nearly twenty years.

“I feel in a really good space to go out and enjoy every moment of my last World Cup,” Devine told ICC Media. “That is something I am really proud of, to be in a space now where I feel so comfortable and confident in my own abilities but also to lead this team with a lot of pride. Everyone knows how passionate I am about the White Ferns and New Zealand Cricket. That is something that has never changed from the 17-year-old who first played to now — my love for the team hasn’t wavered. If anything, it has probably grown over time.”
