New Zealand pacer Lea Tahuhu prevailed over a mole on her left foot that was in a pre-cancerous state to make it for the tour to England. It required three surgeries for Lea to deal with a health scare which put her and wife-cum-teammate Amy Satterthwaite through scary days.

Lea was on a routine check-up for the mole. But things started to change quickly. “I had the mole taken off, and all went well at that point.”
