Born: May 7, 1995

Role: Right-hand bat, right-arm medium

Handed her first New Zealand contract in September 2019, a call-up for the T20 World Cup soon followed.

Having made her international debut early in 2018, she struggled to set the world alight, making a high score of 15 in her first 10 innings.

A right-handed batter, her first game for the White Ferns proved an extraordinary affair, with Down ending up on the winning side in a tense finish against West Indies.

Sophie Devine struck a run-a-ball century and, while Stafanie Taylor made 90 in reply, New Zealand won by just a single run.
