The New Zealand WHITE FERNS are looking to honour a unique achievement in the second Twenty20 International today as Sara McGlashan becomes the first in New Zealand cricket history to play 200 games for the WHITE FERNS, across all formats of the international game.
McGlashan, a dynamic fielder and explosive batsman, made her debut for the WHITE FERNS 13 years ago, on 26 June 2002 against the Netherlands.
She has represented her country in two Tests, 131 One-Day Internationals and today is her 67th Twenty20 International. The next highest on the appearances list is the retired Nicola Browne with 180 games across all formats.
McGlashan is also the most capped ODI player in WHITE FERNS history,
the fifth highest run-scorer in ODIs for the team and third highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals.
She is fifth on the global list of most capped ODI players in women's cricket.
Said WHITE FERNS head coach Haidee Tiffen, “I am thrilled for 'Macca' to be achieve this significant milestone today, I know no one who has more passion for the jersey.
“I was fortunate to play a lot with Macca in my career and I’m very proud to be here today as coach to share in this historic moment for the WHITE FERNS.”
The New Zealand WHITE FERNS are batting first at Saxton Oval after captain Suzie Bates won the toss in the second of three Twenty20 Internationals against Sri Lanka. The WHITE FERNS lead the Series 1-0.
