Sydney Thunder captain Rachael Haynes has been named in an 18-player Australian squad for three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand scheduled for September.
Haynes is vice-captain of the Australian team and was a pivotal member of Australia’s success at the Women’s T20 World Cup, on home soil, earlier this year.
The coveted Rose Bowl Trophy will be up for grabs during the ODI series. Australia is the current holder of the Rose Bowl having defeated New Zealand 3-0 in their last encounter in 2019.
The schedule for the series has matches in both New South Wales and Queensland but given the current situation changes may be required. Cricket Australia will continue to work with relevant authorities and advise any changes.
