England vs New Zealand Tests 2022: Schedule, Squads, Venues, India Time, Live Streaming & TV Channel Info

Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum begin their reigns as captain and coach when England lock horns at home with World Test Champions New Zealand in a three-Test match series, starting from June 2.

Stokes was named the skipper after Joe Root stepped down from the role earlier in the year, while McCullum was named the red-ball coach for the England team only a couple of weeks ago and his first assignment will be up against New Zealand, whom he led in 31 Tests.

England have named a 13-member squad for the first two Tests and have recalled veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who were left out of the West Indies tour earlier this year.

The hosts have also handed maiden call-ups to Yorkshire batter Harry Brook and Durham pacer Matthew Potts. Brooks scored 758 runs at an average of 151.60 in the County Championship this season, while Potts was the leading wicket-taker with 35 scalps.

Black Caps, meanwhile, will welcome the return of skipper Kane Williamson, who has not played a single Test since November last year. The Kiwis have also added wicketkeeper-batter Michael Bracewell for the first time in the 20-member Test squad.

Another wicketkeeper-batter Cam Fletcher alongside pacer Blair Tickner have also been included in the Black Caps squad.

England will hope to start the new era with a win, having just won one of their last 17 Tests. NZ, on the other hand, have won 2, lost 3 and drawn 2 of their recent 7 Test matches.

The NZ side lost to a County Select XI side heading into the first Test, which is scheduled to be played at the Home of Cricket - Lord's in London. The second Test will be played in Nottingham, while the third and final Test will be played in Leeds.
