WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The captain of the New Zealand women's cricket team Amy Satterthwaite will become the first player to benefit from new contract conditions that guarantee her core salary while on maternity leave, the country's governing body (NZC) said.
The 32-year-old, who is married to team mate Lea Tahuhu, is due early next year and will miss the women's World Twenty20 tournament in Australia that runs from Feb. 21-March 8.
