The reigning T20 Women’s World Cup champions, New Zealand, are any day ready to put up a tough fight playing against any team. With Australia and England, New Zealand is one of only three teams to have participated in all ten editions of the Women's Cricket World Cup.

Making their Test debut in 1935, the Kiwis have grown stronger over the years. This has been a reward for all the persistent hard work put in by the New Zealand women team’s captains. 

That being said, let’s take a look at the list of captains for the White Ferns in the past few decades.
