Mia Rogers and Leah Dobson Join 13-Player En-w Vs Nz-w Squad

Mia Rogers and Leah Dobson have been named in England Women’s Development XI for en-w vs nz-w at Banks Homes Riverside tomorrow, with the 50 over warm-up set to start at 11am. The Durham pair are in a 13-player squad facing New Zealand as the visitors continue their build-up to the Metro Bank One Day International Series against England.

Banks Homes Riverside Squad

The selection gives Rogers and Dobson a place in a match that sits one day before the senior series begins at the same ground. England Women’s Development XI will take on the White Ferns in Chester le Street, and the game will be streamed live on Durham Cricket YouTube from 11am.

New Zealand’s ODI Build-Up

New Zealand are using the fixture as part of their ODI preparations, with the warm-up designed to sharpen them before Sunday’s opener. That series gets underway at Banks Homes Riverside at 11am, and tickets are still available for the opening match.

Durham’s Live Opportunity

For Rogers and Dobson, the immediate step is a chance to face international opposition in front of a home crowd before New Zealand return for the series that matters to the wider schedule. The setup leaves Durham with two players in the mix for a high-profile dress rehearsal and gives supporters a live stream if they cannot get to Chester le Street.
