"I love representing New Zealand and playing for the White Ferns," Kerr said in an NZC release. "However, after plenty of consultation with my support network, putting my mental health and well-being first is my number one priority. I've not taken this decision lightly - I feel this is best for me at the current time." "We're obviously going to miss Melie in England," Devine said. "As a cricketer she offers plenty in all three aspects of the game and is great fun to have around off the park. Every individual knows how tough the environment is at the moment with Covid-19; time away from family, living in a bio-bubble or quarantine periods. "We're really fortunate we have great support around us from both New Zealand Cricket and the CPA. It's important we talk openly about it because it can get tough and we need to ensure our players, teammates and friends are looked after. We're all wrapping around Melie and know she'll make a comeback when she's ready." "Jess has an outstanding work ethic and we want cricketers who are determined and willing to work hard. If she gets her chance over in England I know she'll be ready. Claudia showed what she can do against England last summer for the New Zealand XI against a quality English batting lineup. She swings the ball and can cause trouble at the top of an innings. This tour represents a chance to work on her game and experience new conditions, and I know she'll be pushing hard for a spot in the eleven."

Kerr expressed her delight at being a part of the WPL while emphasizing the immense love and passion for cricket that she witnessed among the Indian crowd during the tournament. Kerr described it as an amazing experience and acknowledged the deep-rooted passion that India has for cricket. “To be a part of the WPL and playing there and to see how much they love cricket over in India, the crowd… how many people we were playing in front of was pretty incredible and an amazing tournament to be a part of. The passion and love India has and going over there to play cricket is one of the best experiences you will get,” said Kerr as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. Kerr termed WPL as ‘life-changing’ event and reckoned it will contribute to the overall improvement of women’s cricket on a global scale. “The WPL is a valuable tournament and it’s also life-changing. It’s only going to improve women’s cricket around the world. It’s nice to have opportunities around the world to grow your game,” added Kerr. Following New Zealand’s bronze-medal finish at the Commonwealth Games in August, Kerr went on to participate in various cricket tournaments. She played in both the Hundred and the WBBL, showcasing her skills in these prestigious events. Kerr also had the opportunity to tour West Indies, compete against Bangladesh at home, and represent her country in the T20 World Cup held in South Africa earlier this year.

Before June 13, 2018, Amelia Kerr had hosts of firsts already to her name. But on that day, the 17-year-old legspin-bowling allrounder broke former Australia captain Belinda Clark's 21-year-old record of the highest individual score in women's ODIs. En route to her unbeaten 232 as an opener against Ireland, Kerr, at 17 years and 243 days, also became the youngest - male or female - to score a double-century across formats in international cricket. She also went on to claim five wickets in the same match. Born to former Welington players Robbie and Jo, Kerr's cricketing pedigree goes as far back as her maternal grandfather Bruce Murray, the former New Zealand Test batsman. Egged on to pursue legspin by her father, Kerr also opened the batting for Tawa College Boys 1st XI in Wellington's Premier Youth Grade, before playing for Wellington Blaze alongside Sophie Devine, one of her two cricketing idols besides Kane Williamson. A confident strokemaker, Kerr is the first player - male or female - to score a T20 century at the Basin Reserve, and the only one to have made two on that ground. Barely a month past her 16th birthday, Kerr graduated from playing boys' grade cricket in school to making international debuts in both limited-overs formats, against Pakistan at home. In June 2017, she became New Zealand women's youngest representative in the World Cup, and three months later, she was the youngest female cricketer to bag a central contract with New Zealand Cricket. It was her ...

In the latest episode of the 100% Cricket Podcast, Kerr joined Nasser Hussain and former international teammate Frankie Mackay while on tour in the West Indies - and ahead of a busy summer of cricket which includes a home ICC Women’s Championship series against Bangladesh, and a Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa. Mental health initiative The 21-year-old all-rounder outlined that with good systems in place she has been able to find an equilibrium in terms of mental health. “I’m in a place with cricket where I don’t get too high or too down on cricket because I know it’s a bit of a rollercoaster of a game, so you've got to stay level,” Kerr told the 100% Cricket Podcast. “For me I'm just living my childhood dream, what I absolutely love, so at the end of the day if I go good or go bad I absolutely love the sport, I love training and I love every aspect of it.” Kerr has been spending her limited free time working on a new mental health initiative of her own – Out of the Rough – and has applauded the likes of fellow cricketers who have helped in “normalising” the conversation. “We’ve seen more people, the likes of Nat Sciver and Meg Lanning, and it’s awesome to see people being open about why they’re stepping away from the game,” Kerr said. “(Out of the Rough) is very exciting because it's something I'm extremely passionate about and I guess for me that's the work and the field I want to go down. “It’s something I want to speak openly about.” Kerr's busy schedule After the...

Valkerie Baynes| February 28, 2022 Seeing her dad "broken" as he rallied the family to help when she was at her lowest ebb, It was July 2021 and Kerr, the gifted New Zealand allrounder, had been sent home from a White Ferns training camp, in her words, "for safety reasons". She was accompanied on the trip home by team-mate and close friend "I've never seen my dad so broken in his life," Kerr says. "That was the thing that really was like, 'Wow', for me. Then I got taken to the crisis team at the emergency department, and got in to [see] a psychiatrist. I think if my family didn't get involved, I would still be suffering now. "It just felt so suffocating. I wasn't sleeping at all and I just felt like I was wasting away. It felt like you were slowly drowning" "I needed that confronting experience, and all of that to happen for me to get to where I am. My family has been amazing. I have a huge extended family and we're all extremely close. For so long I couldn't tell my family because they were the closest people to me and I didn't want to hurt them because I knew they would find it hard seeing me struggle. "I tried to hide it from them, but they needed to know what I was going through, because when they did find out, it was the most important thing and they got a plan in place. It made me realise how important that was to tell them and how much you are loved as well." It became apparent during New Zealand's tour of Australia in September 2020 and her WBBL stint with Brisbane...
