NEW ZEALAND REPRESENTATIVE CAPS:

In detail, a full international test cap will be awarded when:
  • A full New Zealand senior team is made up of 17 players or less – as per ISF rules (where two teams are selected one must be the senior or number one team in order for caps to be considered), and
  • This New Zealand team (including replacement players, if required) subsequently plays a full senior team that is representing another country based on the parameters that exist in the ISF and/or WBSC rules.
  • Where two teams are selected from a country, if one team is not clearly identified as the senior team, then no test caps will be awarded for games against either team
  • Where a world or region of countries selection team is created, as long as the team is selected based on the best available representatives of a country, then a full test cap will be awarded
  • Test caps will not be awarded against B teams, second teams, club teams or underage teams from another country or a group of countries.
  • Games for New Zealand would be all games played against all opposition for a full New Zealand team. 

Please bear in mind the following points when viewing the data: 
  • Various scorecards have been misplaced meaning not all New Zealand players are represented and information for included players maybe absent.
  • ‘Year’ column refers to the first year a player played for New Zealand, as to the records at the time.
  • Some of the data contain games that are not true Caps. True Caps policy came into effect August 2010 i.e. World Series/Test Series containing true National Team
