The former New Zealand player and batting coach will continue working across the White Ferns batting and fielding departments alongside Ben Sawyer and Dean Brownlie, with his appointment officially beginning this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The role will see McMillan dedicate his time solely to the New Zealand women and the female Players of Interest programme, as he steps back from his successful commentary career and other coaching commitments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
McMillan, who was with the side during the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup triumph in the UAE, said he was delighted to take the job on full-time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
I\u2019m over the moon to be in this role with the WHITE FERNS. The women\u2019s game is going from strength to strength, and I\u2019m excited to continue to work with our talented players and help them reach their goals,\" Macmillan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe last year has gone so quickly and I\u2019ve loved every minute of being part of a team that continues to improve, challenge one another, and does special things on the world stage.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said the New Zealand's ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup preparation is in full swing. The White Ferns have been extensive in their preparation for the upcoming Cricket World Cup, travelling to Chennai in August for a training camp in a bid to adapt to spin-friendly conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
