"It is with a degree of sadness that I announce my retirement from international cricket. It has been a tough few days after learning of NZC's decision to head in a new direction and contract some younger cricketers," Satterthwaite said in an official statement released by New Zealand Cricket. "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, including the Commonwealth Games. I'll be supporting them all the way," she added.
