White Ferns and Counties Manukau Cricket star Brooke Halliday will play for Auckland in the 2023-24 summer of cricket after making the move from Northern Districts.
Having made her Northern Districts debut in 2012-13, Halliday has forged a successful career that has seen her become one of the best players in the country.
Northern Districts chief executive Ben MacCormack paid tribute to Halliday and her tenure with the association.
“Brooke has been an outstanding contributor to Northern Districts over a long period of time including captaincy,” MacCormack said. “Her family has a long affinity with our region and in particular Counties Manukau of which we know she is really proud of.”
Halliday played 63 List A games for ND, scoring 1056 runs. This includes two centuries: 101 not out vs. Wellington at the Basin Reserve in 2020/21; and 106 not out vs. Auckland at Seddon Park in 2021/22. She also took 30 wickets for an average of 26.33 runs with her right arm medium pacers.
She played 56 T20s for ND, scoring 561 runs and taking 28 wickets for an average of 18.71 runs. Halliday captained the side in 2015/16, 2016/17, and again from 2021.
In February 2021, Halliday had a breakthrough season and earned her maiden call-up to the White Ferns squad for their One Day International fixtures against England. Following on from a successful debut where she scored two consecutive half centuries, Halliday was added to the T20 squad and eventually awarded her first central contract from New Zealand Cricket ahead of the 2021/22 season.
