Kane Williamson will return to captain New Zealand for next month’s Test series against England after the Black Caps named a quartet of uncapped players in a 20-strong touring squad.
New Zealand named a fit-again Kane Williamson as captain of their enlarged squad for the Test series in England, where he will hope the triumphs of a year earlier can be repeated.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is set to return to Test cricket for the first time since November after being included in their initial 20-man squad for next month's tour of England. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Tuesday named an extended squad for the three-Test series to include cover for players likely to miss two warm-up games at the end of this month due to their involvement in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The squad will be trimmed down to 15 before the first Test at Lord's on June 2. Williamson's elbow injury kept him out of a Test match in India in December and home series against South Africa and Bangladesh. The 31-year-old is currently playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and could be among those absent for the warm-up matches, along with Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell.

A four-wicket haul from Blair Tickner on his ODI debut and a maiden hundred from Will Young set up an emphatic win for the hosts. Tickner finished with 4/50 from his ten overs, claiming the wickets of Vikram Singh and Bas de Leede in his first spell, before returning to pick up Logan van Beek and Pieter Seelaar.
