Aimee Watkins has been appointed as the captain of the New Zealand women's team, replacing Haidee Tiffen.

She said: "Following on from Haidee is a big ask - but I know the team is going to be fully behind me. It's a big challenge but exciting at the same time."

Watkins, who has scored more than 1,500 one-day international runs, was vice captain in this year's World Cup, after which Tiffen retired.
