Divya Delhi:   Seam bowler Hayley Jensen will miss the New Zealand series against Sri Lanka after rolling back the years against the warm-up team in the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield final. Hence Fran Jonas will replace her at left-arm spin. , head coach Ben Sawyer said Jonas is ready to start the change, emphasizing usefulness. New Zealand suffers, but Jonas' turn arrives at the right time. New Zealand selectors have withdrawn seamer Hayley Jensen for an international series against Sri Lanka after two years owing to injury in the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield final—ODI. Jensen will be reviewed for the T20I series, said head coach Ben Sawyer. She may be cleared, but the physios will determine her freshness. Fran Jonas replaces her, and Lauren Down replaces injured Bella James. New Zealand will play Sri Lanka without Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr. Kerr, Mumbai Indians WPL player, believes Devine took leave to "look after herself". Injured Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair, and Molly Penfold are also out. Devine is out, therefore Suzie Bates will captain. March 4 begins the series in Napier, followed by two action-packed days in Nelson on March 7 and 9. The Kiwis hope to end their three-game losing streak, while Sri Lanka wants momentum.
