Counties Manukau Cricket Association

Congratulations Carol 👏

WOMEN'S CONTRACT ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

Congratulations to Carol Agafili who rounds out our contracted women's squad for the 2026/27 season.

A powerful all-rounder, Agafili has continued to develop into an exciting prospect in ND colours. The right-hand batter and right-arm medium pacer offers versatility with both bat and ball, while bringing plenty of energy and competitiveness to the group.

Agafili's cricket journey is a unique one, beginning with Kilikiti before transitioning into traditional cricket. She has since gone on to proudly represent Samoa internationally, becoming an inspiring role model for Pasifika players and a valued member of the Northern Districts programme.

Congratulations Carol!
