The returning James Anderson and debutant Matty Potts starred for England as they bowled New Zealand out for just 132 in the first Test of a new era under the new head coach and captain combination of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.
As they prepared to bowl their opening deliveries at the start of England’s home summer of 2022, both James Anderson and Stuart Broad received generous applause at Lord’s. Nothing new about that, of course, only this time felt a little different: the greeting seemed like an endorsement - and a repudiation, therefore, of England’s two highest wicket-takers being dropped from the tour of the West Indies in March.
New Zealand hopeful Jeremy Marshall-King has signed with Dolphins for their inaugural NRL season next year.
In a heartwarming gesture, England Test Captain Ben Stokes walked out for toss in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's wearing a jersey bearing the name and Test cap number of former batter and batting coach Graham Thorpe, who is seriously ill and receiving treatment at a hospital. Stokes also said at the toss that he spoke to his wife and is thankful for the privacy the family has received so far.
On March 4, 2022, world cricket lost a legend in Shane Warne. The former Australian leg-spinner died at the age of 52 due to natural causes on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui. Warne remains the second highest wicket taker in the history of Test cricket, behind Muttiah Muralitharan, with 708 scalps to his name. Warne played 194 One Day Internationals for Australia in which he scalped 293 wickets. The right-hander was also handy with the bat as he scored 3,154 runs in his Test career. He amassed 1,018 runs in the 50-overs format. The leg-spinner took a total of 1001 international wickets and was the first-ever bowler to scale the peak of 1,000 international wickets.
Lord's rose as one to pay tribute to the late, great Shane Warne after 23 overs on day one of the first LV= Insurance Test between England and New Zealand.
England spinner Jack Leach has been ruled out of the first LV=Insurance Test against New Zealand at Lord's due to concussion symptoms with Matt Parkinson to debut as his replacement.
Jack Leach has withdrawn from England's first Test match of the summer after displaying concussion symptoms following a dive to save the ball from the boundary.
