Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is absent due to a minor left calf tear, with Charlie Dean taking the captaincy for the ODI series. Dean emphasized the importance of setting the right tone for what promises to be a packed summer, including the World Cup.\n\n\"We would be brilliant to kick off with a win,\" Dean said. \"It would set our standards as to how we want to go about playing this summer. It's a challenge, and with a young group, it's a good opportunity for us to step up and show what we're made of.\" England last played an international in October, losing the 50-over World Cup semi-final to South Africa, a defeat Dean described as a fresh start for the ODI format.\n\nEngland are also without Mahika Gaur (foot fracture) and Alice Capsey (illness) for the ODIs, depleting the squad but providing opportunities for new players. Dean noted that some debuts could be on the horizon, adding excitement to the series. Despite the absences, the team is focused on building momentum for the T20 World Cup, which begins on June 12 with England hosting Sri Lanka at Edgbaston.\n\nThe New Zealand series includes three ODIs followed by three T20s from May 20, before England face India in three T20s at the end of May. Dean acknowledged that the players are already eyeing the World Cup, with the squad now finalized. \"We've definitely got one eye on the World Cup. Obviously we now know the squads for that T20 World Cup so a lot of girls will be probably focusing a little bit on practicing and making sure that we're ready come June 12,\" she said.\n\nDean also addressed Sciver-Brunt's absence, noting that it was a precautionary move to avoid aggravating the calf tear. \"It's a bit of a loss for us not to have Nat around. She's here training and around the group which is brilliant, but it was just a bit too much of a push for her to play in three 50 overs. She should be good to go for the rest of the summer.\"\n\nThe ODI series offers England a chance to test their depth and give game time to players like Dean, who will lead from the front. The matches also serve as a litmus test for the team's form after a long break from international cricket. New Zealand, coming off a series win over South Africa, will present a stern challenge.\n\nThe Women's T20 World Cup is the ultimate goal, and every match from now until June 12 is a building block. England's performance against New Zealand and India will dictate their confidence heading into the tournament. With key players injured, the squad will need to adapt quickly.\n\nDean concluded by expressing excitement for the summer ahead, emphasizing the need to \"hit the ground running.\" The first match on Sunday will set the tone for what England hope will be a successful home season culminating in a World Cup trophy.\n\nBased on reporting from SkySports | News.","news","England begin T20 World Cup prep vs NZ Sunday; Dean captains with key injuries.
