New Zealand fast bowler Jess Kerr reckons the warm-up matches before the White Ferns’ opening game against defending champions Australia on October 1, will help the team to test their skills ahead of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
With seven days left for New Zealand to begin their World Cup campaign, Kerr felt it is important to adjust to the conditions, something which the camp in Dubai camp helped the team.
“First of all, it (the training camp in Dubai) was adjusting to the heat, really hot conditions, and then a couple of warm-up games in an open wicket scenario, which is really good for us after a long winter,” Kerr told New Zealand Cricket.
“Obviously it’s going to be hot here in India, so adapting to that was really good and just those game scenarios we had lots of different situations that we had to adapt to.
