Amelia Kerr (born 13 October 2000) is a New Zealand cricketer.[1] She made her international debut for New Zealand against Pakistan on 9 November 2016.[2]
On 13 June 2018, Kerr made the highest individual score in a WODI match, and became the youngest cricketer, male or female, to score a double century in One Day International cricket, when she scored 232 not out against Ireland. The double century was also the third-highest individual score, male or female, in an ODI.[3][4] Later in the same match, she also took 5 wickets for 17 runs, her first five-wicket haul in WODIs.[5][6]
In August 2018, she was awarded a central contract by New Zealand Cricket, following the tours of Ireland and England in the previous months.[7][8] In October 2018, she was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[9][10]
Family
Kerr's mother Jo and father Robbie both played cricket at domestic level representing Wellington.[11] Grandfather, Bruce Murray, played Test cricket for New Zealand.[12] Her cousin, Cilla Duncan represented New Zealand (Football Ferns) at international football.[13]
