Kane Williamson Returns As New Zealand Announces Test Squad For England Tour

Kane Williamson has been restored into the New Zealand team for a 3-match Test tour of England in July. Williamson, who last played for New Zealand in November 2021, has been sidelined by a prolonged elbow strain. Furthermore, the 31-year-old is returning to the lineup and is eager to perform well versus the Three Lions. Here in this article, we have talked about New Zealand Cricket Kane Williamson return as Test Squad Announced For the England Tour.

In addition to the frontline men, NZC officials have recognized some fresh talent for their outstanding performances in domestic cricket. All-rounder Michael Bracewell, having won his first T20I and ODI call-ups previously this year, has indeed been handed an opportunity and therefore must seize it. Wicketkeeper Cam Fletcher, speedster Blair Tickner, opening batsman Hamish Rutherford, and fast bowler Jacob Duffy are the other major additions to the lineup.

Rachin Ravindra, a spin-bowling all-rounder, has also rejoined the group and hopes to make an impact. Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Henry Nicholls, and Tom Latham are some of the veteran players who will participate in the series, and their experience of playing in the UK will be beneficial to the Kiwis. Importantly, this 20-man roster will be shortened to 15 before the series begins because 5 IPL-bound performers are uncertain to be accessible for warm-up matches.

However, the first of 3 Tests will begin on June 2 at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground. It should be mentioned that the Blackcaps also visited England last year with a 2-match Test series and won 1-0. Kane Williamson’s men defeated India by 8 wickets in the maiden World Test Championship (WTC) final to raise the famous trophy only days after defeating the Three Lions.

Remarkably, 13 of New Zealand’s WTC final squad’s 15 players will compete in the series. BJ Watling and Ross Taylor, who have both withdrawn from international cricket, are the 2 players who have been left out.

New Zealand Test squad: Kane Williamson (c), Tom Blundell (wk), Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Cameron Fletcher, Colin de Grandhomme, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, Rachin Ravindra, Blair Tickner, Hamish Rutherford, Neil Wagner, Will Young
