    The White Ferns' first tour of the year marks the return of a veteran duo, in the latest phase of the continual buildup to next year's home one-day World Cup

    The White Ferns' first tour of the year marks the return of a veteran duo, in the latest phase of the continual buildup to next year's home one-day World Cup


    The three-match T20 series against England sees the return of allrounder Suzie Bates after an almost year-long recovery from shoulder surgery, while captain Sophie Devine is back after a break to deal with fatigue.

    Devine says they can't wait to be back out on the field together.



    The first Twenty20 starts in Chelmsford from 5.30am tomorrow.
