Amy Satterthwaite, the seventh most prolific batter in women's one-day internationals, has called time on her representative career after New Zealand Cricket (NZC) decided not to award her a central contract. The hard-hitting all-rounder, who made her international debut in 2007 and captained her country in 2018 and 2019, scored 4,639 runs in 145 ODIs at an average of 38.33, and another 1,784 for her country in Twenty20 matches. "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. "It has been a tough few days after learning of NZC's decision to head in a new direction and contract some younger cricketers. "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..."
