The veteran all-rounder will retire from one-day internationals at the end of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
The 35-year-old has accepted a casual playing agreement for the 2025-26 season.
Devine is one of the country’s most celebrated female players.
She has played 298 internationals over two formats since making her debut in October 2006.
She took over the captaincy in 2020 and led the team to a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and a maiden ICC Women’s T20 World Cup victory last year.
The right-handed Devine is one of the most prolific all-rounders in the game.
She has amassed 7421 runs, including eight ODI centuries and one T20 century, and taken 226 wickets throughout her international career.
Devine said it felt like the right time to retire from ODIs.
"I feel very fortunate to have New Zealand Cricket’s support in finding a solution that means I can still give to the White Ferns," she said.
"It’s important that everyone knows I’m focused and dedicated to giving this group everything I can before I step away.
"I’m really excited by where this young group’s going and I’m looking forward to playing my part in the next six to nine months.”
NZC chief executive Scott Weenink said Devine ‘‘has been an extraordinary leader and ambassador for the White Ferns".
‘‘Supporting her move to a casual playing agreement will allow her to continue contributing to the White Ferns environment.
"Her legacy as one of the game’s greatest all-rounders and her commitment to nurturing the next generation makes this a positive step for both her and the White Ferns.”
Devine will lead the team at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup starting on September 30, and a decision on her successor will be made before the New Zealand home summer.
The 17 centrally contracted White Ferns will be announced today. — APL
