Melie Kerr

EVENT: Women’s T20 Cricket 

Melie Kerr was a member of the New Zealand Cricket Team which beat England to win a bronze medal at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Kerr became the youngest New Zealand women's cricketer ever when she debuted at the age of 16 against Pakistan at Lincoln in late 2016.

The supremely talented Wellington Blaze leg-spinner set a new world batting record in women's one-day cricket with her 232* against Ireland in Dublin, age 17 at the time. 

Kerr's googly is regarded as one of the best in world cricket and she's already captured some big wickets including Australian captain Meg Lanning.

After a strong 2021-22 season, Kerr has cemented herself as a genuine all-rounder in the team, exemplified by receiving the NZC ODI Player of the Year award for the season.
