"England have waited nine years for another home World Cup, wallowing all the while in memories of their win in 2017, and almost a century for a maiden women's Test at Lord's. Now both are being thrust upon them over the space of a single month, from 12"
England host New Zealand for a three-match ODI series before a trio of T20s. Charlie Dean takes the captain’s arm band with Nat Sciver-Brunt sidelined by a calf tear as she works toward the World Cup starting June 12. England’s XI includes three debutants: Jodi Grewcock, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, and Dani Gibson. New Zealand’s side is led by Amelia Kerr. The match is set in Durham under bright conditions, with expectations of some early life in the wicket. Dean emphasizes turning the page with the ODI group and sticking the opposition in. Kerr says she would have bowled first and anticipates movement early on.
