Youngest player to score a double century in international cricket

Amelia Kerr (New Zealand, b. 13 October 2000) was 17 years 243 days old when she hit 232 not out – the most runs scored by a female cricketer in a One-Day International (ODI) – for New Zealand against Ireland at the YMCA Cricket Club in Dublin, Ireland, on 13 June 2018. Kerr is the youngest double-centurion – male or female – across all senior international formats (Tests/ODIs/Twenty20 Internationals).

Kerr is the joint third youngest player to reach three figures in a women’s ODI and only the second woman – after Australian Belinda Clark’s 229 not out on 16 December 1997 – to reach 200 in the same format. As of 13 June 2018, seven women had scored 200 or more in a Test match – the same number of men who had scored 200 in an ODI. Countless males have scored a double century in Test matches, but no male (or female) has scored 200 in a Twenty20 International.
