'Got To A Point Where I Needed To Step Away For A Little Bit', Reveals Sophie Devine
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After being named in New Zealand’s squad for the upcoming series against Australia, veteran all-rounder Sophie Devine revealed that a hectic cricketing schedule hit her much harder than expected and it reached a point where she had to go on a well-being break from the sport.
Sophie, 35, had been on a well-being break from the sport since January, which resulted in her missing New Zealand’s white-ball games against Sri Lanka and pulling out from WPL 2025 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). She will now return for New Zealand's upcoming T20I series against Australia starting in Auckland on Friday.
“It probably just got to a point where I needed to step away for a little bit. Obviously, the last 12-18 months have been massive for me personally, but also the White Ferns group, the amount of cricket that we've played, obviously winning the World Cup and things like that. It probably hit me a little bit harder than I realised.
