England ready to 'step up' as World Cup preparations begin against New Zealand

Charlie Dean says England can "set our standards" for their big home cricketing summer when they face New Zealand in the first ODI match of the multi-format series as preparations ramp up for the Women's T20 World Cup.

England will play their first international of 2026 at Chester-le-Street on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Cricket, when they host the White Ferns in the first of three ODI matches.
