One of the latest cricketers to earn a White Ferns contract, wicketkeeper Jess McFadyen has a colourful sporting background - having spent four years playing hockey overseas and now pushing football for a living.
When Jess McFadyen left Wellington for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, she must have been dreaming of a future in the Black Sticks.
The talented young athlete, who d collected a number of sports in her kit bag, had taken up a four-year hockey scholarship at Wake Forest University, renowned for its strong field hockey programme.
But when it was time to come home in 2015, McFadyen had a sporting change of heart. “I d been so immersed in hockey for four years, that it was time to give my body a rest and change tack,” she says. “I’d always loved playing cricket, so I was really keen to jump back into it.” Now, after playing her way into the Wellington Blaze and evolving into a leading runscorer and the side s No 1 wicketkeeper, McFadyen has been offered a White Ferns contract for the first time.
