ICC T20 Champions Trophy: New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr has been appointed as the New Zealand women’s new captain across all formats. She takes over from Sophie Devine, who stepped down after last year’s Women’s ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

The 25-year-old, who has already played 172 international games, will commence her leadership journey through the upcoming series against Zimbabwe starting later this month. Amelia has previously stood in as New Zealand’s captain in limited matches but now takes on the role in a full-time capacity.

“Growing up it was my childhood dream to represent New Zealand and to now have the opportunity to captain my country is a massive privilege. I’m really excited by the growth, the talent and the dedication of this group and the potential of what we can achieve and where we can go together.
