WELLINGTON : Amy Satterthwaite, the seventh most prolific batter in women's one-day internationals, has called time on her representative career after New Zealand Cricket decided not to award her a central contract.
"It is with a degree of sadness that I announce my retirement from international cricket," the 35-year-old said in a news release on Thursday. "I am disappointed not to be receiving a contract and believe I still had more to offer, however I respect NZC's decision and I wish the White Ferns all the best as they embark on an exciting winter of cricket..."
But it is with bat in hand that she will be best remembered, top scoring at the 2016 T20 World Cup and hitting four successive ODI centuries in 2016-2017 - a feat matched only by Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara.
