NZ vs ENG Test: New Zealand will want to rapidly move past their disappointment from losing a Test in Pakistan. They have lost tests at home to South Africa and Bangladesh in the past year or so, which has affected their home form. After Kane Williamson left earlier to the away series against Pakistan, Tim Southee is still in charge.
Along with the previous captain Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway, and Tom Latham will all play significant roles. After a protracted injury layoff, New Zealand would like to see Kyle Jamieson return to his bowling form. Along with Southee, Matt Henry and Neil Wagner are two other excellent bowlers who make up a potent pace attack.
The team-building benefits of this tour are even more important for England in light of the upcoming Ashes series this summer. There is only one more game left until England plays Australia, a match against Ireland at Lord’s in early June, after the two Test matches against the Black Caps at Mount Maunganui and Wellington.
Therefore, it is essential that England get the most out of this trip, both on and off the field. Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes are sure that their laid-back attitude will continue to work in their favour over the upcoming weeks given how the “Bazball” period has gone thus far.
