Mitchell Santner cleared to return for New Zealand Tests against England

Mitchell Santner's back. The all-rounder has been cleared for New Zealand's Test squad against England, starting at Lord's — a timely boost for their spin stocks and all-round depth alongside a strong seam attack.

Santner's got 78 Test wickets across 32 matches and a century against England already under his belt. His availability ahead of the opener matters.

Charlie Dean's been captaining England Women through recent series against New Zealand and India, and she's talked up the squad's preparation heading into the T20 World Cup on June 12. The Somerset all-rounder praised her teammates' support throughout.
