New Zealand stars Sara McGlashan and Rachel Priest will warm up for the Kia Super League with some county action in the Nat West T20 Cup.

McGlashan – a middle-order batsman and veteran of over 200 internationals, including 2 Tests – will line up for Sussex, before heading to the Southern Vipers; whilst Priest – a wicket-keeping opening batsman, with an ODI highest score of 157 – will play for Berkshire, before quite literally “going west”, to the Western Storm!

With key players away on international duty (Heather Knight, for Berkshire, and Danni Wyatt and Georgia Elwiss for Sussex) both counties will be mightily relieved to bulk-up their batting; whilst for the players themselves it represents an opportunity to acclimatise to the freezing cold English conditions prior to KSL.
