Mark Chapman Switches to Casual New Zealand Contract Ahead of BBL Move After India White-Ball Series

Mark Chapman has decided to move to a casual New Zealand contract. This change will allow him to take part in the BBL.

The decision means Chapman will no longer hold a full-time deal with New Zealand Cricket. Instead he will operate under a casual arrangement that frees him up for overseas leagues.

Mark Chapman is set to feature in the upcoming white-ball series against India in November. After those matches conclude he will head straight to the BBL.

India Series Comes First

The white-ball series against India remains the immediate priority. Chapman will complete his commitments there before travelling for the BBL season.

This timeline ensures he honours his national duties while still pursuing opportunities in the Australian league.
