The New Zealand right-arm off-spinner, Xara Jetly, burst into tears as the heartbreaking story went viral on various social media. She kept on getting ignored by the selection committee despite her top form and classical performance, as she made a video of breaking down emotionally.

One of Jetly’s bowling videos went viral on socials, where the right-arm New Zealand spinner went for a fine and dream delivery as the ball spun in to break the defense of the batter. The same incident took place on the next delivery as it held its straight line and went on to break the off-stump.

The third wicket of the video was when the right-arm spinner cut the pace of her delivery. The right-handed batter used her feet and smashed the ball straight back into the bowler, who went down on her knees to grab a fine catch.

The 24-year-old’s last contest came last month against the Northern District side, where she ended up with impressive figures of 2/39 in 10 overs at an economy rate of 3.90. In the game before that, she smashed an unbeaten knock of 38 runs and ended up with a decent figure of 1/38 with the ball.

She was also part of the Canada Super 60 Women competition, where Jetly featured for the Toronto Sixers Women. Jetly finished with figures of 3/8 in two overs at an economy rate of four. She also bagged a valuable figure of 1/17 in two overs against the Vancouver Thunderbirds Women's side. The Wellington Women spinner opened the bowling and notched up a fine figure of 3/15 in four overs.

New Zealand Women are now going to host Zimbabwe Women in a three-match T20I series in Wellington, as the series will begin on February 25. They will later feature in the three-match ODI series against the same side on March 05. The Blackcaps women will then shift their focus to the South Africa games, starting on March 15.
