Melie Kerr leads the ODI unit after after claiming 16 wickets in New Zealand’s three ODIs against Zimbabe, including two five-wicket hauls and the White Ferns’ best ODI figures in history of 7/34 in Dunedin.
The side is also bolstered by the inclusions of Suzie Bates, Flora Devonshire, and Georgia Plimmer, who all return from injury for the ODI series, replacing Emma McLeod, Polly Inglis, and Bella James. Knight enters the squad for Molly Penfold.
Head coach Ben Sawyer is excited by the quick bowler’s inclusion.
“It’s great to call Kayley up for her first ODI series,” Sawyer said.
“Kayley’s got good pace and control, and a short ball that regularly challenges batters.
“It’s been a packed backend to the summer for the White Ferns and we’re looking forward to wrapping the season up with another competitive series.”
