Mark Chapman drops Black Caps contract to join Big Bash League
Mark Chapman will stay available for New Zealand’s white-ball series as he shifts to a casual deal and opens a central contract spot for Matt Fisher.
- New Zealand batter Mark Chapman moved from a full-time contract to a casual deal with New Zealand Cricket on September 8, securing an opportunity to feature in Australia's Big Bash League later this year.
- Earlier this year, the 32-year-old asked not to be considered for Test cricket when New Zealand Cricket finalized its initial contract list, reflecting his shift away from longer formats.
- Chapman remains available for New Zealand's white-ball series against India in November before heading to the Big Bash League for the upcoming season.
- Northern Districts fast bowler Matthew Fisher received his first-ever central contract to fill the vacancy, with New Zealand Cricket selection manager Gavin Larsen citing the need for express pace in the Black Caps.
- The Big Bash League runs from December 12 to January 26, creating schedule overlaps with New Zealand's four-Test tour of Australia and a white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
