As New Zealand prepares to host the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022, official sponsor ANZ is seeking the next generation of female cricketing talent from Taranaki to join the ANZ Next XI.
Eleven young women aged 12-18 will be selected from across New Zealand to join the ANZ Next XI.
They'll be invited to an exclusive White Ferns junior training academy, where they will meet the players, train with the team, attend expert-led masterclasses, and learn valuable skills to inspire them to become the very best cricketers they can be.
As long-time supporters of women in sport, ANZ wants to make sure that nothing can stop the next generation of sportswomen from pursuing a future in cricket and has created this once in a lifetime opportunity to help encourage them to get there.
White Ferns all-rounder Suzie Bates said she can't wait to meet the ANZ Next XI.
