The Wellington native had put up some impressive numbers in the local cricket competition before her family pulled up stakes and moved to Bathurst and the runs haven't stopped coming with the change in locale.
Black has not just been playing a high level of cricket over the season gone, but has been doing it consistently against older players with more experience.

Having moved to Bathurst from Wellington just over a year ago, Black has even managed to find her way into representative sides three years above her age group.
At just 12-years-old earlier this season Black was selected for the ACT/NSW Country under 15s squad for the 2020 Female National Championships in Canberra.
On a local level Black kept herself incredibly busy over the season with 24 matches, notching up some huge personal highlights in the process.
Black scored two unbeaten half centuries at under 13s level for the Bushrangers then scored 63 at a senior level during a President's Cup clash.
She finished the under 13s season with a batting average of 53.
Over at the recent Sydney Under 15s Women's Premier Competition Black ended her four games with an average of 106.
Bathurst District Junior Cricket Association president Stephen Cain said Black had proven herself a stand-out across the 2019 - 2020 season.
"She does a great job in her competition," he said.
"This is Callee's second year living in Bathurst now but even last season she was coming over from Wellington on Saturdays to play in the Bathurst competition. '
Increasing Black's chances of success is her latest coach.
"She's going great guns," Cain said.
"Now she's been getting coached by Andrew Litchfield over in Orange, Phoebe Litchfield's dad, which is fantastic for her."
