The following players have been selected for the White Ferns to contest the Quadrangular Series in England in June and July against England, Australia and India.

Aimee Watkins (Captain) - Central Hinds
Amy Satterthwaite (Vice Captain) - Canterbury Magicians
Kelly Anderson - Canterbury Magicians
Suzie Bates - Otago Sparks
Kate Broadmore - Central Hinds
Nicola Browne - Northern Spirit
Lucy Doolan - Wellington Blaze
Frances Mackay - Canterbury Magicians
Sara McGlashan - Central Hinds
Katey Martin - Otago Sparks
Liz Perry - Wellington Blaze
Rachel Priest - Central Hinds
Sian Ruck - Wellington Blaze
Lea Tahuhu - Canterbury Magicians

The competition sees the four nations play one full round of Twenty20 and One-Day matches with a final for each format.

The players have been chosen after competing in three North v South Island fixtures which has acted as a trial for the selection of the squad.

There is one debutant with right-arm opening bowler Lea Tahuhu Canterbury earning selection into the White Ferns team.

Some regular players of late are not available. Erin Bermingham requires shoulder surgery and will miss this series with a view to being right for next season and a heavy workload. Sophie Devine has committed to hockey in her quest to make the 2012 Olympic Games team while Sarah Tsukigawa has recently retired from cricket.

The squad will play the three Rose Bowl matches that were cancelled following the Christchurch earthquake in Brisbane before heading to England for the Quadrangular Series.
