NZ cricket captains recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Tim Southee (left) and Sophie Devine. Photo: Photosport Current White Ferns captain Sophie Devine and former Black Caps captain Tim Southee have been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours. Both have been integral to their national sides and have become officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to cricket. Devine, who is in the twilight of her career, was selected for the White Ferns in 2006 at 17 and has become one of the sports most dominant players. The 35-year-old holds a number of records including scoring the fastest ever 50, from 18 balls, in a women's T20. Last year she led the White Ferns to their maiden T20 World Cup title in the United Arab Emirates. Southee made his Test cricket debut in 2008, and was the mainstay of the New Zealand attack in all three forms of the game until his retirement from international cricket in 2024. He appeared in four 50-over World Cups, and a World Test Championship Final. At the end of his career Southee had played 394 matches for the Black Caps across all formats, claiming 776 wickets. He is the only player in world cricket to claim more than 300 Test wickets, 200 ODI wickets and 100 T20 wickets, and is New Zealand's second most successful test cricket bowler with 385 Test wickets. Ellesse Andrews Photo: SW Pix / Four-time Olympic track cycling medallist Ellesse Andrews (Waitaha, Kāti Māmoe, Kāi Tahu) has been recognised off the back of a huge 2024. Andrews won a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Last year her two golds and a silver medal at the 2024 Olympics made her New Zealand's sixth most successful Olympian. New Zealand's first Olympic medallist in BMX Racing has also been recognised in the King's birthday honours for services to BMX and sports governance. Sarah Walker won silver at the 2012 London Olympics. The 12-time BMX World Championship medallist started her sports governance journey while she was still competing. For eight years from 2016, Walker served on the IOC Athletes' Commission. Last year she was elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as part of the governing body responsible for overseeing the Olympic Movement. Sarah Walker Photo: PHOTOSPORT One of the most well-known rugby players in the world has also been recognised. Portia Woodman-Wickliffe (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahu) has been a leading figure in women's rugby union and sevens for over a decade. Woodman-Wickliffe, who recently came out of international retirement to have a crack at another Rugby World Cup, helped the Black Ferns to World Cup victories in 2017 and 2022. For the Black Ferns sevens, she helped secure gold medals at the 2020 and 2024 Olympics. She has picked up two Women's Player of the Year awards in rugby union and in 2020 was named the Women's Sevens Player of the Decade. Former All Black Murray Mexted is now an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to rugby. Mexted played 73 matches for the All Blacks between 1979 and 1985. He spent a couple of decades as a Sky TV rugby commentator post retirement, then founded the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand (IRANZ) in 2001. Don Mackinnon, one of New Zealand's leading sports directors, has also joined the honours' list. Don Mackinnon Photo: Elias Rodriguez He's held several influential roles including serving as a director of Sport New Zealand, and director of High Performance Sport NZ. Mackinnon has also led several major independent reviews, including a report on the Silver Ferns disastrous 2018 Commonwealth Games campaign and a review into the All Whites failed World Cup qualifying campaign in 2022. The sports lawyer and governance expert now chairs the Sport Integrity Commission, which was sparked by the death of Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore and a series of damning reviews into the country's elite sporting environments. A number of administrators and coaches have been recognised for decades of work in their respective sports, including swimming coach Clive Power, who led the New Zealand Swim Team on several tours. Lesley Huckins - became the first New Zealand female FINA (now known as World Aquatics) referee and officiated at three Olympic Games. Eugene Meredith - for his efforts to promote American Football in New Zealand since 1987. Bruce Ross - well-known cycling figure and Tour of Southland tour manager from 1985 to 2020. Ross Cooper - former Chiefs coach and All Blacks assistant coach from 1994 to 1998. Pauline-Jean Luyten - became the first Pacific woman to be appointed to the New Zealand Rugby (NZR) Board in 2022 and is the Pasifika representative on NZR's Stakeholder Panel. Ronnie Thompson - a former Tall Fern, turned influential basketball coach and administrator.

England Vs Zimbabwe Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Follow Scorecard And Match Action From Trent Bridge
After a hiatus of a couple of decades, England and Zimbabwe are all set to renew their Test rivalry at Trent Bridge in what promises to be one of the summer's most intriguing encounters. The last time these sides met in whites was way back in 2003, making this one-off, four-day Test a genuine piece of cricket history in the making. For England, this represents the perfect warm-up act before a blockbuster summer that includes a five-Test series against India and the small matter of an Ashes tour Down Under. Ben Stokes' side will be eager to hit the ground running with their trademark aggressive approach, now with an interesting tactical addition. Former New Zealand pace spearhead Tim Southee has joined as a Specialist Skills Consultant, bringing his wealth of swing-bowling knowledge to mentor England's attack. The hosts arrive with confidence brimming despite some inconsistent recent form. Captain Ben Stokes, now fully recovered from his 2024 hamstring troubles, remains the beating heart of this side. The batting order reads like a fantasy cricket enthusiast's dream – Zak Crawley's attacking intent at the top pairs with Ben Duckett's rapid-fire approach, despite recent struggles in New Zealand. Joe Root continues to rewrite the record books with his sustained excellence, while Harry Brook's explosive county form suggests he's primed for another purple patch. Ollie Pope adds middle-order flair, and Jamie Smith returns behind the stumps after missing the New Zealand tour. The bowling attack presents fascinating dynamics with Southee's strategic input. Gus Atkinson leads the pace charge after his breakthrough 2024 campaign, alongside Matthew Potts, whose red-hot Durham form has forced selectors' hands. Josh Tongue makes a welcome return after two years in the injury wilderness, while Essex seamer Sam Cook could be the find of the summer on debut. Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, gets the nod over Jack Leach and will be keen to exploit any assistance Trent Bridge's surface offers. For Zimbabwe, this represents far more than just another Test match. Under Craig Ervine's measured leadership, the visitors arrive with genuine belief, having shown in Bangladesh that they can mix it with established Test nations when their stars align. The batting revolves around experience and youth in equal measure. Sean Williams, the veteran of Zimbabwe cricket, could remarkably play more Tests in 2025 than in his previous eight years combined. Sikandar Raza brings the X-factor with both bat and ball, while the emergence of 21-year-old Brian Bennett – already armed with both a Test century and five-wicket haul – symbolizes Zimbabwe's exciting future, while Wessly Madhevere's aggressive intent adds another dimension to their middle order. The pace attack is spearheaded by the towering figure of Blessing Muzarabani. At 6'8″, the fast bowler presents a unique challenge for England's batters after an impressive 2024 calendar year. Richard Ngarava and Victor Nyauchi provide swing and seam options, though Trevor Gwandu's groin injury has robbed them of depth. Wellington Masakadza's spin offers a different angle of attack, and with coach Justin Sammons emphasizing adaptability during their early Nottingham preparations, Zimbabwe appears determined to make this historic opportunity count. The venue couldn't be more appropriate for this renewal of rivalry. Trent Bridge's pace-friendly nature and propensity for swing should suit bowlers from both sides. It was here that James Anderson announced himself to the world with 5-73 against Zimbabwe in 2003. This will be only Zimbabwe's second experience with the shortened format, having previously faced South Africa in 2017. The compressed timeframe should theoretically favor England's ultra-aggressive approach, but it also presents Zimbabwe with a narrower window to spring a surprise. This fixture carries significance beyond the immediate result. For England, it marks the beginning of what could be a defining packed summer ahead of the new WTC cycle. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, are embarking on their own ambitious journey. This England encounter is part of an unprecedented 10-Test schedule for 2025, matching England's tally and even surpassing some Full Members. Having already secured a creditable 1-1 draw in Bangladesh, they host South Africa and New Zealand later in the year, marking a genuine revival in their Test fortunes. The historical odds heavily favor England, as the Poms have won their last three previous Test encounters against the Chevrons. But cricket's beauty lies in its unpredictability, and Zimbabwe arrives with nothing to lose and everything to gain. This represents their first bilateral series in England since 2004 across any format. Their last victory on English soil came in a 1999 Lord's ODI, making any positive result here genuinely historic. Will England's explosive approach prove overwhelming, or can Zimbabwe script the perfect underdog story? The stage is set for four days of compelling cricket.

Tim Southee to work as a consultant with England's cricket teams
Former New Zealand pacer Tim Southee will work with England's cricket teams as a "specialist skills consultant" for all formats over the upcoming international summer. The 36-year-old Southee, who retired from international cricket in December, will start his role ahead of next week's one-off test against Zimbabwe and work through to the end of the five-match test series against India in early August. "With his vast experience of playing in a wide range of conditions around the world and across all formats, he brings valuable insight and knowledge to the players," the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Thursday. Following his consultancy stint, he will resume playing duties in The Hundred competition for Birmingham Phoenix in August, the ECB said. Southee is New Zealand's all-time leading wicket-taker across the formats. He took 391 in test matches, placing him 18th on the all-time list and No. 2 for a New Zealander behind Richard Hadlee.

Photo: Photosport Former Black Caps captain Tim Southee has joined the England coaching set-up as a specialist skills consultant. The England and Wales Cricket Board announced 36-year-old Southee will take up the job on a short term basis, working with England in all formats of the game until the end of their test series against India in August. His tenure will begin in England's home test against Zimbabwe, starting at Trent Bridge next week. Southee's former teammate, Brendon McCullum, is the head coach of the English team in all formats. Southee retired from international cricket in December, finishing as New Zealand's all-time leading wicket-taker, with 776 across a combined 394 test, ODI and T20 matches. His 391 test wickets left him second in the Black Caps all-time list behind Sir Richard Hadlee's 431. Following his consultancy stint, he will resume playing duties in The Hundred for Birmingham Phoenix.
