New Zealand (NZ) women's cricket coach, Ben Sawyer, has secured a two-year contract extension, ensuring he will lead the White Ferns (NZ) until December 2026. This extension follows Sawyer's pivotal role in guiding New Zealand to their first-ever ICC Women's T20 World Cup victory in the UAE last October.
Star batter Joe Root made history on Saturday as he became the first player from England and overall only fourth to touch the landmark of 100 or more fifty-plus scores in Test cricket.
During the second Test against New Zealand, Brook arrived at the crease with four England wickets down early and unleashed a counter-attack masterclass. He went on to score 123 in 115 balls, with 11 fours and five sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 106.95.
