Sophie Devine to miss Sri Lanka home series to prioritise her well being. News follows Devine’s decision last month to withdraw from the Super Smash and the 2025 Women’s Premier League after receiving professional advice. The White Ferns’ series with Sri Lanka starts on March 4, featuring three One-Day Internationals and two T20Is. The all-rounder is on the cusp of a milestone, having ammassed 3990 runs in Women’s ODIs, averaging 31.66 with the bat in international 50-over cricket. New Zealand won the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE in October last year, with Devine playing a key role in the victory. The series against Sri Lanka will be held at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from March 4-7. The ODI series will be followed by a three-match T20 series at the same venue, starting on March 8 and ending on March 9.
