The Kiwis named a 15-member squad for the six white-ball matches against Bangladesh next month, with experienced captain Sophie Devine to once again lead a strong New Zealand side. Devine is joined in the squad by regulars Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Jess Kerr, Maddy Green and Hayley Jensen, while experienced wicket-keeper-batter Jess McFadyen could be in line for a debut after she was included as a replacement for Izzy Gaze.
The visit from Bangladesh will be the Kiwis last official series before the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup next year and Sawyer said he would be using the series to complete final preparations before departing for South Africa.
The series will be New Zealand’s final hitout before they head to South Africa for February’s T20 World Cup and head coach Ben Sawyer is hopeful of some positive results.

“Over the last couple of months we’ve put together a blueprint of how we want to play, particularly in the T20 format, with an eye on the World Cup next year. This tour will be a great opportunity to continue working and refining those plans and making any necessary adjustments. At the moment we think we’ve got a pretty good style of play and so it will be about putting all of that together, on what should be some good wickets at home,” Sawyer said in an official statement released by NZC.
