"I think I had a bit of FOMO" says New Zealand all-rounder Sophie Devine

"I think I had a bit of FOMO (fear of missing out) – missing out. I saw on social media the girls getting stuck into training and warm-up games. It’s nice to come back and join the group, it’s a bit like family and it’s nice to link up again and the group seem in a really good space."



Devine will join the team prior to their second and final warm-up game against hosts West Indies. "I think for me personally it’s another opportunity to get used to the conditions. See what the pitch brings, their bowlers – it’s a fantastic opportunity to play against the hosts. It’ll be great to learn from them and see how they go about things and also stick to our plans," Devine added.



"It’s fantastic to be over here in the West Indies, they love a party, so really looking forward to being part of that atmosphere and anytime you get to represent your country is really special so looking forward to getting out there and doing the country proud."



Devine is hopeful to adopt the new condition in the West Indies. "It’s really important to be able to adapt. Here, it’s been spoken about a lot, that spinners will play more of a role, but as a medium pacer, variable bounce, change-ups and variations are all really going to be key as well."



"That’s what I will be looking to do, try to hit the sticks as much as possible. It can be a bit of hard work at times but I am really excited about the challenge."
