"Every series from here on plays an important role in our preparation and growth as a unit.

“Touring New Zealand always presents unique challenges. The conditions require adaptability, especially when playing across multiple venues where the surfaces and weather can differ.

"We must adjust quickly, apply ourselves and maintain the standards we have set as a team.

"This tour gives us another valuable opportunity to test our combinations, deepen our squad and continue evolving our brand of cricket against quality opposition."
