New Zealand ODIs: Ahead of their first ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday, England Women have handed a maiden call-up to South-East Stars seamer Ryana MacDonald-Gay. The 20-year-old has played for England Under-19s and England A. She is currently the leading wicket-taker in this season's Rachael Southeast-Flint Trophy, with 12 at 11.75 and a best of 5 for 31 from four matches. She will join up with the team in Durham on Tuesday.

MacDonald-Gay has been added as cover due to a couple of niggles in England's 14-member squad, head coach Jon Lewis said.

“Ryana has been a standout bowler in domestic 50-over cricket and had a good 50-over tour of New Zealand with our England A team. We have brought her in at this point as we have a couple of niggles in the squad. We have been really impressed with her skill level and accuracy. She is an exciting young talent, and we look forward to having her in the squad," Lewis said.
