Overseas players keen to catch women's cricket wave in NZ
Lynn McConnell - 4 September 2001

New Zealand's success in staging last year's CricInfo Women's World Cup has had an unexpected benefit for Christchurch women's cricket.

Players are lining up to come and sample cricket here.

Among those expected to be playing their cricket here this summer are England under-19 and Yorkshire player Claire Atkinson and Netherlands captain Pauline te Beest.

Te Beest is targetting a place in the Canterbury side in the national competition.

Sri Lankan World Cup vice-captain Sudarshini Sivanathan is another who has made enquiries about coming back to Christchurch.

Yorkshire all-rounder Clare Gough, who got close to the England team for last year's tournament, is also interested while another Dutch player Alarda Mol is also reported to be keen.

White Fern Nicola Payne, who has been a contact point for many wanting to play in Christchurch, said the World Cup was excellent advertising for cricket in the city and in New Zealand, along with other players who have played here talking about their experiences when they go home.
