Cricket fans around the world are saddened to hear that New Zealand’s Amy Satterthwaite will be retiring from the game at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old Canterbury captain and internationally capped player has given an incredible amount to the game during her career. As she bows out from the international stage, she will be remembered for her leadership, skill, and inspiration to the younger players she has mentored over the years.
Satterthwaite has been with Canterbury for more than a decade, and she has been a stalwart of the team. Her cricketing record is impressive, with 7,000 runs in international cricket and more than 1,000 runs in domestic cricket. She has also picked up more than 75 international wickets.
Satterthwaite’s leadership has been particularly important for Canterbury, who have enjoyed success under her guidance. She has been a core part of the team’s successful campaigns in both the Women’s Super Smash and Women’s National League, as well as helping her side to the final of the Women’s World Cup in 2017.
As Satterthwaite brings her international career to a close, she will be remembered fondly by all cricket fans. Her immense talent and leadership have been an inspiration to many, and her presence will be sorely missed.
For now, the best way to honour Satterthwaite’s career is to cheer her on in her final matches for Canterbury. As she looks to go out on top, she deserves to be celebrated for her tremendous contribution to the world of cricket.
