In New Zealand, England won their first ever series.

Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa will be hosted by England in January.

The four sides will play eight games in January.

Australia won the Quad Series two years ago.

The series gives us a chance to test ourselves as we move closer to the Commonwealth Games, according to England head coach Jess Thirlby.

England won their first series in New Zealand in September.

They were due to tour Australia in October but the series was canceled because of the "evolving Covid-19 restrictions" in the country.

Australia are the top-ranked team in the world, followed by New Zealand, England and South Africa.

"Despite the challenges we've faced navigating the pandemic we have managed to seek opportunities which have seen us take on the world's best, but overseas," Thirlby said.

This series is really special because of the international sides in front of fans.
