Strong domestic form has seen the recalling of Anna Peterson, Kate Broadmore and Erin Bermingham to the White Ferns, who take on the England Women next month.

Coach Hamish Barton said that strong domestic form has seen a number of new faces join the squad.
“Players like Kate and Erin have performed all season long in the domestic competition and thoroughly deserve their recall” says Barton.
“Hannah has been another player we’ve been really impressed with and offers us something different with the ball due to her height. She’s still early on in her career, but has a lot of talent and we’re excited to have her in the group.
“It’s also been pleasing to see our experienced players continuing to work hard and lead the way for their provincial teams. Suzie, Amy and Sara have all averaged over 70 with the bat in the domestic one day competition, while Holly and Lea have also maintained their good form with the ball.
“England have shown what a force they are over recent years and pose a huge challenge, but we’ve got an exciting squad with a lot of ability and we’ll head into the series confident.”
