Let us know something more about Amelia Kerr:

Amelia Kerr was born on 13, 2000 in Wellington. She is a right-handed batsman and an all-rounder who represents the New Zealand Women’s team.

Born to former Wellington players Robbie and Jo, Kerr's cricketing choice goes as far back as her grandfather Bruce Murray, the former New Zealand Test batsman. Influenced by her father to try legspin, Kerr never lost passion for batting and opened the batting for Tawa College Boys 1st XI in Wellington's Premier Youth Grade, before playing for Wellington Blaze alongside Sophie Devine, one of her two cricketing idols besides Kane Williams. She is the first player - male or female - to score a T20 century at the Basin Reserve, and the only one to have made two on that ground.

After her 16th birthday, she made her international debut for NZ at home against Pakistan and then became the youngest female in the NZ team to get her central contract. In the 2017 World Cup, she had 10 wickets in her bag from 6 matches.
