The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.

WHITE FERNS all-rounder, Melie Kerr, is in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19 on Saturday (UKT). 

Kerr produced a positive Rapid Antigen Test and will undergo a period of hotel isolation before re-joining the team.

Kerr is the only player from the tour party to test positive, while the rest of the group will continue to be monitored and tested, as required.

The WHITE FERNS have another week of training at Millfield School, including two practice matches against England A, before transferring to Birmingham for the 2022 Commonwealth Games at the end of July.
