New Zealand’s six Major Associations have finalised their men’s Domestic contracts for the 2021/22 season.
The contracting process for Domestic players involved two rounds, with each team contracting a total of 16 players overall.
The two-stage process is designed to generate increased competition for the final contract offers and also helps ensure the best players are contracted throughout the country.
The six teams will compete for the Plunket Shield (four-day), Ford Trophy (one-day) and Dream11 Super Smash (T20) trophies.
