    Speaking on the sidelines of the event, Glenn Critchley said New Zealand Cricket’s global identity has been built on consistent performance, strong values, and a progressive outlook. He noted that initiatives such as the Golf Day allow the organisation to celebrate its legacy while engaging with partners in a more personal and meaningful manner, particularly in markets like India that play a central role in world cricket.
    The golf sessions were followed by an evening programme featuring two moderated chat sessions with players and coaches, where attendees gained insights into team culture, leadership experiences, and life on the international cricket circuit. The day concluded with a closed door dinner and networking interaction among invited guests.
