In an attempt to honour the most outstanding female cricketer in the circuit and to acknowledge her efforts, New Zealand Cricket is set to introduce the Debbie Hockley Medal at this year's annual awards ceremony.
The honour, which will be presented annually at the NZC Awards, will be the female equivalent of the Sir Richard Hadlee Medal given annually to the top male cricketer.
The 2022/23 awards ceremony will take place on March 23 in Auckland. The new award will be handed out that evening by Hockley herself.
From 1979 to 2000, Hockley represented New Zealand in 118 ODIs and 19 Tests.
She is regarded as a pioneer of the women's game and was one of the top players for two decades in the 1980s and 1990s.
The Sir Richard Hadlee Medal was established in 1998.
Debbie Hockley was the only woman to receive the New Zealand Cricketer of the Year award 13 years ago.
