Kate Anderson’s incredible cricketing journey has reached a significant milestone, as she basks in the glory of receiving her first international call-up. Anderson’s maiden international call-up is a testament to her remarkable performance during the 2022/23 domestic summer season. Her exemplary batting skills shone brightly as she amassed a staggering total of 536 runs, boasting an impressive average of 59 in the fiercely competitive Dream 11 Super Smash competition. Her outstanding achievements did not go unnoticed, as she was rightfully bestowed with the prestigious title of NZC’s Women’s Domestic Player of the Year.

In recognition of her talent and dedication to the sport, Kate Anderson has been given her very first White Ferns contract, marking a significant milestone in her cricketing career and joining Canterbury’s Lea Tahuhu in the White Ferns squad for their forthcoming tour to South Africa later this month, a journey that will undoubtedly be etched in her memory forever.

The tour kicks off with a 50 over warm up match on Thursday 21st September, followed by three One Day Internationals and five T20 Internationals, finishing on Sunday 15th of October. All of the matches (excluding the warm up game) will be televised on Sky Sport and live scores on the NZC website.
