A Wellington native, Black moved to Bathurst in 2018 and wasted little time in proving herself to be one of the city's most exciting young cricketers.

She has represented Western both in her division and higher age brackets, she's played for ACT/NSW Country and she has won Bathurst District Junior Cricket Association awards.

Black has also proven herself to be one of the bright prospects for Penrith Cricket Club since joining the likes of fellow Bathurst talents Lisa Griffith, Rebecca Cady and Amy Kreuzberger in linking with the club.

In season 2019-20 Black was named the player of the year for Penrith's under 15s Brewer Shield side as she made 106 runs across four matches without being dismissed and claimed seven wickets at an average of 5.34.

For season 2020-21 the Brewer Shield was changed to be an under 18s competition, but Black was again a stand out. She scored 237 runs at 33.9 and took 17 wickets at 7.1.

"Callee, she's exceptional. Being a 14-year-old playing in an under 18s competition she's generally playing cricket above her grade and then some," David Williams, Penrith Cricket Club's women's co-ordinator, said.

Black was not only named the Brewer Shield player of the year for the second season running, but she took out the women's player of the year award.

Determined by a three, two, one vote taken across the grades each week, Black joins the likes of Griffith (2016-17, 2017-18) on the list of winners.

Her batting highlight of the season was a century against Campbelltown-Camden. Coming in at number five, she hit 104 off 85 deliveries, her knock including 14 boundaries.

With the ball her best performance was a 6-11 off 10 overs, of which five were maidens.

"Certainly she's a talent and she was a pretty clear winner. She also through injury missed a couple of games too which meant she didn't have the chance to pick up any three, two, ones those weeks," Williams said.

"We are excited about her, big time. She's some we're very much looking at nurturing through the ranks at an appropriate stage.

"It's about giving her the next set of challenges to extend herself without dropping her in a hole as a 14-year-old."
