The camp will feature three one-day games, after which there will be one-dayers against England in Dubai and the warm-ups ahead of the Women’s Cricket World Cup (against South Africa and India in Bengaluru), giving New Zealand ample game time in the subcontinental conditions ahead of the event proper.
“It’s hugely beneficial and even more so this year because we’ve had no official matches since February,” Sawyer added.
“So to get these three one-day games in Chennai, to get two or three games in Dubai against England, a really strong opposition, will be great and then we also get the two World Cup warm-up games. So that’s seven or eight games we’re going to get in similar conditions. Yeah, that’s just huge for us.”
New Zealand begin their campaign against arch-rivals Australia in Indore on 1 October, 2025.
