Kerr called up

Wellington 16-year-old Amelia Kerr has been called into the White Ferns Twenty20 squad in Australia after injury has ruled out off-spinner Leigh Kasperek for the remainder of the 2016-17 season. Kasperek sustained multiple fractures to her left little finger shortly after the toss in the first match at Melbourne on Friday ahead of the opening match against Australia which New Zealand lost by 40 runs. While Kasperek bowled three overs, scans have confirmed she will require surgery on the finger.
