"Rosemary has been an integral part of the Central Hinds side this summer and has stepped up with her leadership and extra pace, which has been pleasing," New Zealand head coach Ben Sawyer said. "We identified key areas of her game to work on post the tour of Sri Lanka and we've been impressed with the way she has gone away and worked hard on implementing these into her game.

"The results speak for themselves and Rosemary's performance in the Super Smash Grand Final showed us that she's ready for another opportunity.

"Leigh has been really impressive with her performances and leadership for the Wellington Blaze this summer. She has been consistent across both the T20 and 50-over campaigns for Wellington and she continues to be part of our planning for the ICC T20 World Cup in Bangladesh."

In the combined 15-member roster for both series, Georgia Plimmer has been picked only for ODIs, while Eden Carson is in for the first three T20Is. Carson will also feature for New Zealand A in the corresponding T20 and 50-over series against England A. Hayley Jensen, who is returning from knee surgery, will also be part of the A series. The full New Zealand A squad will be named on Wednesday.
