Wellington Blaze one-day captain Leigh Kasperek will make her first appearance for the Blaze since returning to the capital when they face the Central Hinds in rounds three and four of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield this weekend.

Kasperek was unavailable for the opening two rounds of one-day fixtures and is one of two additions to the squad that recorded a win and a loss against the Auckland Hearts a fortnight ago.

The other addition is Tawa College batter Georgia Plimmer who will make her Blaze debut if selected to in the playing eleven this weekend - Whetu Campbell is unavailable.
