England pacer receives maiden call-up for New Zealand ODIs
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed the addition ahead of the second ODI against White Ferns on Wednesday.
Pacer Alexa Stonehouse has been announced as a cover in the England squad for the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand.
Stonehouse receives a call-up following an impressive streak of performances in the ongoing domestic One-Day Cup, claiming eight wickets at 25.12 in five appearances, which includes three-wicket hauls in each of her last two outings against Durham and Somerset.
England currently lead in the three-match ODI series after a thrilling one-wicket win in the series opener.
New Zealand are currently on a tour of England for three ODIs and as many T20Is ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in England and Wales.
The defending champions are slotted in Group 2 alongside the hosts, Ireland, Scotland, Sri Lanka and the West Indies.
The tournament will kickstart on June 12 with England facing Sri Lanka in the opener at Edgbaston.
