England won't be scared to continue unleashing spinners on seam-friendly New Zealand pitches

20 October 2025

The visitors played left-armer Liam Dawson and leg-spinner Adil Rashid in the first T20 wash-out at Hagley Oval...despite the conditions favouring the seamers.

England captain Harry Brook says they have one eye on spin-friendly conditions at next February's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka...plus a desire to build combinations.

The second T20 in Christchurch starts at 7.15pm.
