New Zealand Welcomes Devine, Kerr, Tahuhu Back for Australia T20Is

New Zealand has announced its squad for the upcoming T20I series against Australia, marking the return of key players Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr, and Lea Tahuhu after their absences from previous matches. Devine, who took a well-being break, is excited to return, stating that she's looking forward to rejoining her teammates. Kerr, the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year, comes back after a successful stint in the Women’s Premier League, while Tahuhu returns from a hamstring injury that sidelined her since December. The series, which runs from March 21 to 26, will be held in Auckland, Tauranga, and Wellington, and is expected to be highly competitive. Wicketkeeper Izzy Gaze will miss the series due to ongoing rehabilitation from a hip flexor injury, with Polly Inglis taking her place. Suzie Bates continues as interim captain, leading a squad that aims to end the home summer on a high note against their Trans-Tasman rivals.
