The New Zealand women's cricket captain Aimee Watkins has announced her retirement from all cricket.
The 28 year-old departs the international scene after playing two Tests, 103 One Day Internationals and 36 Twenty20s after making her debut in a one-day match against Australia at Adelaide in 2002.
The aggressive left-hand batsman and accurate right arm spin bowler, who hails from New Plymouth, finishes her career as the fifth ranked all-rounder in women's cricket.
She struck 15 Test runs, 1857 ODI runs and 772 Twenty20 runs to go with 3 Test wickets, 92 ODI wickets and 22 Twenty20 wickets.
The new White Ferns captain will be named in due course.
