After the 2009 World Cup, Sampson announced her "shock" retirement from cricket, at the age of 23.[4] Her best international bowling figures came in a One Day International against New Zealand in 2008, where she took 5/30.[5] Sampson did play again for Surrey after her announcement, in the 2009 Women's Twenty20 Cup and 2009 Women's County Championship, but did not play again after the 2009 season.[6][7]
Sampson was the 154th woman to play Test cricket for Australia,[8] and the 108th woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.[8][9]
