OUR TEAM AND CULTURE
Founded in 1950, the Stags represent the provinces of central New Zealand, a huge geographic area with no major city, but many vital, heartland towns and rural swathes.
Along with the Central Hinds, we're the only Domestic teams to represent both the North and South Islands of Aotearoa New Zealand. This means we have to overcome logistical, funding and training challenges that other teams simply don't have to deal with.
It makes the Stags a very close-knit and committed team. We're down to earth, adaptable Kiwi lads from provincial New Zealand, with a sense of humour and a practical knack for getting the job done.
Even in the modern professional landscape with all its pressures, enjoying what we do is central to our ethos, and we look to entertain people, have fun together, and play good cricket wherever we are playing. We're always happy to connect with young fans, whether in our region or in the opposition territory!
Beneath the smiles and fun are hard-working, determined, competitive, super-fit cricket athletes searching to get the best out of their careers and talents in the high-intensity professional environment.
We all want to play for the BLACKCAPS (and many of us have) and we'll leave no stone unturned in the quest to represent New Zealand - while always embracing our team-first philosophy.
"We are the might of CD" is a line in our team song that resonates with all of us, getting it done together. Our song captures the special spirit of CD and we're proud to share it with our community of supporters.
