Pacific T20 World Cup Qualifier: Papua New Guinea women’s all-rounder Kaia Arua has passed away, aged 33, said the country’s cricket governing body on Thursday. Kaia debuted for PNG at the East Asia-Pacific Trophy back in 2010, when the side took on hosts Japan in Sano.
She rose to become a regular for PNG in various East-Asia Pacific pathway events and Pacific Games cricket, before being named in the team's squad for the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
“We are very sad to announce to you that our current player and most recent Lewas captain, Kaia Arua, passed away at Port Moresby General Hospital at midday today. Our sincere condolences and love go to her family, including coach John Ovia and Lucy Ovia, who have both been long-serving staff here at Cricket PNG.”
