Xara Jetly

Professional Cricketer - New Zealand A · Wellington Blaze

Xara Jetly is a New Zealand cricketer, an off-spinning all-rounder for Wellington Blaze and the Firebirds, who's built her name playing across both men's and women's competitions in New Zealand and England, all while chasing a spot with the White Ferns. Beyond the field, she's grown into one of cricket's fastest-rising content creators, letting her audience into the real, unfiltered journey of being a young athlete on the rise - the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between - while balancing professional cricket alongside university and a corporate career. On Decoding Wisdom, Xara talks candidly about facing challenges in the sport, pushing through her first serious injury both physically and mentally, why she chooses vulnerability over a polished highlight reel online, and the discipline behind constantly improving - along with the self-awareness it takes to stay hungry without letting confidence tip into ego.
