Would like to see how she does against better bowling but this seems to solve a problem and allows England to pad out the late middle order.

Surprised they hadn't tried it sooner. She's always been one of the more correct players and was perhaps wasted at 6. You're far more likely to get a long innings out of her there than you were Capsey at 3.
I see Ecclestone has had a bit of a setback and is now a doubt for the India series. Smith seems to have become a very able deputy though and is perhaps ahead of Dean now.

Or they'll get a game played after all. Nice hitting practice for NSB at least. Ecclestone taking a break for mental health reasons it seems.

Devine retired, should've been done a while back imo

Just think it's time for someone new to have a crack, can't expect her Bates and Kerr to bail us out all the time.
Back in 2022 one of my hottest takes was that I believed Devine should've handed in the captaincy & it should've gone to Mackay, then she got dumped in the Great Magicians Purge (+ Kasperek & Newton).
Maybe I'm just moaning and/or jealous, but it does feel like there's a heavy English/Australian bias in these franchise selections generally. OK, these are on balance the best teams, but it feels like the coaching setups are dominated by the same few coaches & they pick only the players they know. It's fair enough, but that means a lot of good players (Fatima, Iqbal, Brits, Bosch, even Samarawickrama) can't get a look in (I'm just using them as an example - I don't even know if they put their names in for the draft, & I can't find the list).
From a narrow NZ perspective, it's eye opening that even being the reigning T20WC champions does nothing in terms of moving the needle for interest in our players, & that with no more clashing bilaterals, that removes a potential avenue of coming in as a replacement except through injury.

The Sixers decided to shoot themselves in the foot. It's fortunate they pre-signed Kerr or they'd have messed that up as well.
