The New Zealand cricket team has been announced for the Women’s T20 World Cup to be played from 3 October to 20 October. The women’s selection committee selected the 15-member New Zealand team on Tuesday.
Sophie Devine will lead the team. Let us tell you that the Women’s T20 World Cup was earlier to be held in Bangladesh, but because of the poor condition of the country, the tournament was shifted to another country. Now the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be held in Dubai and Sharjah. A total of 23 matches will be played at both these places. Defending champions Australia will be eyeing their fourth consecutive T20 title.
