Kate Ebrahim returns to the Magicians after missing the 2019/20 season with the birth of her daughter. Sims, a Lincoln scholarship recipient made the move down to Canterbury from Wairarapa earlier in the year and has impressed new Magicians coach Rhys Morgan over the winter. “She’s a fantastic athlete and she’s good a bright future in front of her,” Morgan said. Frankie Mackay will once again lead the Canterbury Magicians after a successful 2019/20 season where she broke multiple records including becoming Canterbury’s leading run-scorer and wicket taker in both formats.
