The England women's cricket team toured New Zealand in March and April 2024 to play three One Day International (ODI) and five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] [3] [4] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5]

Along with the international fixtures, the countries' respective A teams contested three 20-over and three 50-over matches.[6] [7]

England won the T20I series 4–1.[8] England also secured the ODI series with a game to spare.[9] The ODI series eventually finished 2–1 in favor of the tourists after a century by Sophie Devine helped New Zealand to a consolation win in third match.[10]

Squads

England named Hollie Armitage and Linsey Smith in their squad for the first three T20Is only,[15] with Alice Capsey, Sophie Ecclestone, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt joining the squads for the last two matches of the series after playing in the Women's Premier League in India.[16] Sarah Glenn was ruled out of the last two T20Is and first two ODIs due to injury.[17] Glenn was further ruled out of the entire ODI series.[18]

New Zealand named Eden Carson in their squad for the first three T20Is and Leigh Kasperek for last two T20Is. Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine were not available for the first T20I,[19] with Georgia Plimmer and Mikaela Greig added to the squad.[20] [21] Suzie Bates was named captain for the first T20I in the absence of Devine.[22] Devine was also ruled out of the fifth T20I due to a quad injury,[23] with Plimmer replacing her in the squad.[24] Amelia Kerr captained New Zealand in the fifth T20I.[25]

Devine was also ruled out of the first two ODIs,[26] [27] with Leigh Kasperek added to the squad as cover.[28] Amelia Kerr was named captain in Devine's absence.[29] [30] On 4 April 2024, Rosemary Mair was ruled out the ODI series with a back injury,[31] with Molly Penfold replacing her in New Zealand's ODI squad.[32] For the third ODI, Bernadine Bezuidenhout was ruled out due to an injury,[33] with Eden Carson replaced her in the New Zealand's squad.[34] Devine was also declared fit for the match,[35] with Mikaela Greig added to the New Zealand's squad as cover.[36]
