Cynna Kydd is an Australian netball player. She is currently goal shooter for the Melbourne Phoenix in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy, after a controversial defection from local rivals the Melbourne Kestrels in early 2006. Kydd had previously played for the Kestrels since 2000, and was the Kestrels captain from 2005 until her transfer. An often accurate and high-scoring shooter, Kydd was voted as the Commonwealth Bank Trophy's Most Valuable Player in 2004, and was a frequent member of the Australian national netball team from 2003 to 2005, but injury and a downturn in form saw her dropped from the national side in early 2005. Although she took some time to settle in at the Phoenix after her shock departure from the Kestrels, she subsequently recovered to have a successful season, and remains in contention to re-enter the national team in 2007.
