Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

Both New Zealand and England found their preparations for the series disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. New Zealand's preparations for the series were disrupted by alert levels, which prevented players from training together before the series. The New Zealand team only had three days preparation before the series started. Four Auckland-based players, Gina Crampton, Sulu Fitzpatrick, Peta Toeava and Grace Nweke were given special dispensation by New Zealand's Ministry of Health, allowing them to travel to Christchurch. However New Zealand's coaching staff were not permitted to travel and New Zealand had to assemble a new set of South Island-based coaching staff especially for the series. Travel restrictions also prevented four of England's Suncorp Super Netball players – Natalie Haythornthwaite, Stacey Francis-Bayman, Helen Housby and Jo Harten – from travelling to New Zealand. The England team also had to spend time in quarantine before the series. [2] [3] [14] [16] [17]

Both New Zealand and England were also due to play Australia in October 2021. New Zealand were due to defend the Constellation Cup. However both series' were subsequently cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [18] [19]
