Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Priest was born in New Plymouth, Taranak and plays for Central Districts Hind in the State League. A technically correct wicket-keeper Priest was picked for the New Zealand A side in 2007. A quickfire 34-ball 36 fast tracked her to the national side.
The debut came against Australia in a Twenty20 International (T20I). Since then she has been a regular in the White Ferns side. Priest generally opens the batting with Suzie Bates and the duo have become a formidable pair for their national side.
Coming as a hard-hitting batter Priest was not known for her consistency. However, all that changed during the 2015-16 period, where she scored 592 runs at an average of 53.81, including four fifties and two centuries. With over 150 international games for White Ferns, Priest has formed the core of the side along with Bates, Sophie Devine and Amy Satterthwaite.
Priest was picked up by Melbourne Renegades in the Women's Big Bash League and has played two seasons for them. She also plays for the Western Storm in England's Super League.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Rachel Priest is a wicketkeeper-batsman who rose up through the ranks at Central Districts. In January 2007 she was named in the New Zealand A squad for the first time, and an impressive 36 off 34 balls in her first game helped with her promotion to the full squad for the tours of Australia and England later in the year.
A technically correct wicketkeeper, Priest is also a hard-hitting batsman and became an increasingly consistent run-maker as her career unfolded. The year 2015 was a remarkably prolific one for her - she scored 592 runs in ODIs at an average of 53.81, including four fifties and two centuries.
