Southey, who will play the last ODI in the 2023 World Cup and the last T20 in the 2024 T20 World Cup, said that he will continue domestic and franchise cricket even if he leaves international cricket. He will even play in the 2025 World Test Championship final if New Zealand reaches the final.
Although unlikely to reach the final, New Zealand are now fourth in the points table. With that in mind, Southi has now made the final decision, 'I express my gratitude to family, friends, coaches, fans and those involved in the game who have supported me throughout my career.'
