Posted : 29 April 2026
Lea Tahuhu and Sophie Devine have announced they will retire from international cricket after the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup.
Devine, one of New Zealand’s greatest all-rounders, leaves behind a record-breaking career spanning nearly two decades, while Tahuhu exits as one of the country’s most experienced fast bowlers.
Their retirements mark the end of an era for the White Ferns, who are set for a major transition alongside Suzie Bates’ earlier decision to step away.
