CDCA is delighted to congratulate former CENTRAL HINDS and WHITE FERNS keeper-batsman Rebecca Rolls on her appointment to the New Zealand Cricket Board following NZC's 2020 annual general meeting.

Rolls, a double international in cricket and football, and Anna Campbell, a geneticist and Managing Director of AbacusBio,  are the two new appointments elected to the national board during NZC’s first-ever AGM-by-Zoom conference.

The two new directors replace outgoing board members Liz Dawson and Don Mackinnon on the eight-strong board, with Diana Puketapu re-elected for a further term.

Napier-born Rolls was a member of the national side that won the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in 2000 and also represented the Football Ferns at the London and Rio Olympics, alongside a long career in the police and public service, holding a number of senior leadership roles.

Rolls represented CD from the outset of her career in 1990/91 until 1996/97 when she transferred to Auckland to further her off-field career.
