Women's cricket: Aspirational or lagging behind?
New Zealand's women's domestic cricket programme is lagging behind other countries, according to the White Ferns captain, but others call it an "aspirational pathway".

Good article ahead of the season.
First round of 10 of the Hallyburton Johnstone was today. Looks like Thamsyn Newton's moved from Wellington to CD – probably good, she was struggling to justify a place for Wellington last season but could star for CD. Meanwhile Wellington found themselves 26–7 and lost – damn.
Other big moves: Jess Watkin from CD to ND; Maddy Green from Wellington to Auckland; Brooke Halliday from ND to Auckland. The women's provinces were so imbalanced – probably good for the game to have the Auckland team be improved tbh, as hateful as that is.
