Domestic career

edit

Along with Brent Arnel, he was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the 2016–17 Super Smash, with fifteen dismissals.[2] In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Central Districts for the 2018–19 season.[3]

In December 2021, in the 2021–22 Super Smash, Rance took his first five-wicket haul in T20 cricket.[4]

Renowned for his prodigious late in-swing deliveries, Rance announced his retirement from New Zealand Domestic representative cricket in April 2024, after more than a year struggling to return to top form from a ruptured latissimus dorsi tendon.[5]

International career

edit

In April 2017, he was named in New Zealand's One Day International (ODI) squad for the 2017 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.[6] He made his ODI debut for New Zealand against Ireland on 14 May 2017.[7] He made his T20I debut for New Zealand against the West Indies on 29 December 2017.[8]
