The home summer of international cricket – and the build-up to the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup – begins with New Zealand's white-ball tour of England.

Nat Sciver-Brunt's side will face the White Fearns in a three-match ODI series and a three-match T20 series in May as they ramp up preparations for the home tournament, which gets going next month.

Sophia Dunkley, Charlie Dean, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and Sarah Glenn are among the key absentees from England's squad for the one-day series, but it is still packed with talent and includes first international call-ups for Surrey wicketkeeper batter Kira Chathli and Essex all-rounder Jodi Grewcock.

The hosts will face a tough test against a strong New Zealand squad, led by talismanic all-rounder Amelia Kerr, as they look to make a winning start to the new ODI World Cup cycle after their semi-final exit in India in October.

2026 is set to be an exciting year for English cricket and the start of the international summer is finally here – with extensive coverage of both the ODI and T20 series for UK viewers.
