India, Sept. 3 -- Former New Zealand all-rounder Craig McMillan was on Tuesday appointed as the batting and fielding coach of the White Ferns ahead of the Women's ODI World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from September 30. The 48-year-old, who played 55 Tests and 197 ODIs primarily as a batter scoring more than 7,500 runs, joins head coach Ben Sawyer on a full-time basis. McMillan had earlier been part of the New Zealand women team during their T20 World Cup triumph in 2024. "I'm over the moon to be in this role with the White Ferns. I'm excited to continue to work with our talented players and help them reach their goals," McMillan was quoted as saying by ICC.
