Lauren Down makes a comeback to the New Zealand women’s cricket team after taking a break to become a mother. The talented player, who last represented her country in the T20 World Cup in 2023, has been named in the squad for the upcoming tour of England. Mikaela Greig and Molly Penfold are also part of the team, with Rosemary Mair and Hayley Jensen missing out due to injuries.

The head coach, Ben Sawyer, is excited to have Lauren back and believes the team is well-prepared for the challenging series against England. The tour kicks off with three ODIs followed by five T20Is starting in late June. Stay tuned for exciting cricket action as the WHITE FERNS take on England in their own backyard.
