Katey Martin

Born in Dunedin Otago, Katey Martin made her debut as a 18-year-old in a Test match for New Zealand against India in 2003. Having had plenty of experience playing for State Otago Sparks, Martin could never cement a place in the national side.

She had a gap of five years after making her Test and ODI debut in 2003, where she only played a handful of games. Her second coming was better as she was in the squad for almost four years, but there was no significant contributions during this period.

However, when she made a comeback in 2016, Martin was a different player. The introduction of T20s had a huge role as she turned herself into an attacking batter. Coming lower down the order, Martin became a very good asset for the White Ferns with her consistency and power-hitting.

Martin is the only current New Zealand player to have played a Test and they will bank on her experience as they head into the 2017 World Cup.
