    The Wellington Blaze aren't fearful about life without star all-rounder Melie  Kerr

    The Wellington Blaze aren't fearful about life without star all-rounder Melie Kerr


    The 25-year-old has headed to India for the women's Premier League, having propelled the Blaze to the top of the Super Smash table with three wins.

    Kerr has scored 206 runs at an average of 68 in her appearances.

    Wellington coach Jonny Bassett-Graham says they'll miss Kerr's runs, wickets and leadership...but they'll cope.
