Wellington : Two experienced players have returned to the New Zealand women’s squad for the limited-overs series against England. White Ferns have recalled Rosemary Mair and Brooke Halliday to their squad for the five-match T20I series and following three ODIs against England later this month.
Mair is recalled to the squad for the first time since last year’s tour to Sri Lanka, while Halliday returns after a healed foot injury which saw her miss the limited-overs series against Pakistan.
“Rosemary’s had a great domestic season,” White Ferns head coach Ben Sawyer said.
“She’s been an integral part of the Central Hinds side this summer and has stepped up with her leadership and extra pace, which has been pleasing.
“We identified key areas of her game to work on post the tour of Sri Lanka and we’ve been impressed with the way Rosemary has gone away and worked hard on implementing these into her game.”
