Fresh off a sizzling performance in Auckland where four overs cost a mere 2-6, including two T20 maidens and an over that's being talked about as "the over of the Super Smash", Central Hinds star HANNAH ROWE has been selected for the WHITE FERNS 2023 T20 World Cup team.

The WHITE FERNS will contest the ICC World Cup next month in South Africa, with the squad leaving next week to begin the build-up.

 

 

Rowe has been in outstanding form with both bat and ball this summer with a maiden T20 half century off just 32 balls against Northern Brave over the New Year and is fired up to represent the Central Hinds in the national team.

The WHITE FERNS begin their preparations in South Africa with three practice matches against England in Johannesburg, before official ICC warm-up matches against the West Indies and England again in Cape Town.

The World Cup campaign begins in Paarl with a Trans-Tasman clash against Australia on February 12.

The squad departs for South Africa on Monday.
