The White Ferns skipper broke her foot and will not be part of the team's practice matches against England as a precaution, confirmed coach Ben Sawyer.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday named the Women's T20I Team of the Year (2022), India's opening batter Smriti Mandhana, all-rounder Deepti Sharma and wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh have been named in the XI.
India's explosive opener Smriti Mandhana feels that nomination for Women's T20I Cricketer of 2022 for consecutive years as announced by the International Cricket Council is a validation of her performance for her country.
Mandhana was nominated along with three other outstanding performers in the T20 format. Pakistan's Nida Dar, New Zealand's Sophie Devine and Australia's Tahlia McGrath.
Gardner, who was named Player of the Match after her effort of 66 not out off 32 balls and a haul of two for 20, has topped the all-rounders' list for the first time after moving up three spots. She has overtaken West Indies captain Hayley Matthews, India's Deepti Sharma and New Zealand capt
New Zealand scored 123 runs owing to swift starts by openers Bates and Devine. Devine sped to a 39-ball 42 that had four fours, while Bates finished with an 80-ball 51. Salma Khatun struck in the 16th over to dismiss Devine, and Ritu Moni struck in the 26th to dismiss Bates.
New Zealand's professional women's and men's cricketers will receive the same pay for the same play following a landmark deal to combine them in the same agreement.
