The White Ferns leave New Zealand later today for a month-long tour of England.
The tour takes in three Twenty20 internationals and six ODIs against England, beginning at Bath on 12 August.
“The key is that the experienced players are getting better and to find out how the new players are going,” White Ferns coach Steve Jenkin said.
“We want to see the players improving individually and as a team.
“After two-and-a-half weeks in Australia, we are going to tour England with better preparation than any previous team. We saw two new players at the Rose Bowl in Amy Satterthwaite and Rachel Priest, who both performed extremely well.
“This tour will see another new player in Rachel Candy, as well as the return of Suzie Bates and Ros Kember to strengthen our top order.”
