No bubbles for England & Wales women cricketers

 Apart from sporadic local outbreaks, which are quickly stamped on, New Zealand is enjoying a period free of Covid-19 worries. As a result, our women cricketers are enjoying a practically normal tour.

Sitting alongside team-mate Danni Wyatt at England’s base in Queenstown ahead of the start of a three-match ODI series against New Zealand on Tuesday, Tammy Beaumont tells i: “We had to do two weeks of quarantine but after that it’s pretty much been normal life. You have to wear masks on planes around New Zealand but other than that it’s been a normal tour. It’s been lovely, just being able to go out for coffee and dinner and things.”

Whether their enjoyment off the field will be matched by success on it, against strong opposition, is another matter.
