Brooke Halliday

Brooke Maree Halliday, born on October 30, 1995, in Hamilton, New Zealand, is a prominent batting all-rounder who plays for the New Zealand women's national cricket team and Auckland in domestic cricket. A left-handed batter and right-arm medium bowler, Halliday made her international debut in early 2021 in both One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against England. Known for her aggressive stroke play and ability to contribute with the ball, she quickly became a key player for the White Ferns.

Halliday has represented Northern Districts before moving to Auckland and has been lauded for her consistent performances, including back-to-back half-centuries early in her international career. She played an integral role in New Zealand's bronze medal-winning campaign at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and was part of the squad that won the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, where she delivered crucial contributions in the final. Beyond international cricket, she has been recognized as Northern Districts Dream11 T20 Player of the Year and holds a central contract with New Zealand Cricket, reflecting her importance in the national setup. Her ability to perform under pressure with both bat and ball makes her a valuable asset for New Zealand in all formats.
