T20 World Cup: Ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup starting on October 3 in the UAE, former New Zealand men’s all-rounder Craig McMillan said he is keen to impart all his knowledge of playing in global tournaments to the Sophie Devine-led side.

McMillan, currently the assistant coach with the New Zealand women’s side, made 260 international appearances for the men’s team, including playing in three ODI World Cups and the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007.

"I was lucky enough to go to four white-ball World Cups as a player and three as batting coach at the Black Caps, so I have a lot of experience in terms of World Cups. They're different beasts, it's a tournament sort of format, so it's different to a normal tour."
