It is further revealed that players of the Wellington cricket team, Canterbury Cricket, and Otago cricket team have attended the first camp.

New Zealand has been making it to the news recently. We reported that Sophie Devine was given the charge of captaincy for the White Ferns. Her appointment was full-time with Amy Satterthwaite being named as her deputy. Moreover, Devine will take her role as a full-time skipper in this split-squad training camp.
