England will be touring New Zealand for 2 Test matches in what is their final assignment in this cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC).
The duo of Head Coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes are yet to lose a single match in the longest format of the game and they would be hoping to continue the same in the upcoming Test matches.
However, the challenge will be tough as the windy conditions in the Kiwi nation make it extremely tough for the traveling sides.
While the 1st Test match will be played at Mount Maunganui, the 2nd Test match will be played at Wellington.
In this article, we take a look at the squad, injury updates, and live-streaming details of the series between England and New Zealand:

Injury updates
New Zealand
Kyle Jamieson who was also set to stage a comeback into the Test squad of New Zealand after being out of international cricketing action for 7 months has been ruled out once again. He has suffered a re-occurrence of his back injury which has been niggling for quite some time.
“It’s really gutting for Kyle to have this happen after he’d put so much hard work into getting himself back in the park. Since the injury in June we’ve certainly taken a cautious approach to manage his return with regular monitoring by our medical staff which has included scans,” said New Zealand Coach Gary Stead.
Matt Henry has skipped the series as he will soon become the father of his first child.
