New Zealand on Friday announced a 14-man squad for the upcoming three-match Test series against England.

New Zealand’s team will be selected from among 13 players in the first Test as Mitchell Santner will join the team for the second and third Test.

Kane Williamson has returned to the Kiwi team, who could not take part in the historic series against India due to groin problem.

The Test series between New Zealand and England will start from 28th November.

Tom Latham will remain the captain of the team.

Fast bowler Tim Southee has announced that this World Test Championship will be his last.

On the other hand, former New Zealand team captain and veteran fast bowler Tim Southee has announced his retirement from Test cricket.

He will play his last Test series against England at his home ground Seddon Park in Hamilton in December.

However, Southee has said that if the Kiwi team reaches the final of the World Test Championship (WTC), he will be available for selection.

Announcing his retirement, Southee said, “Representing New Zealand was everything I dreamed of as a child.

“Playing for New Zealand for 18 years has been my greatest honor and privilege, but now I feel it is time to step away from the game that has given me so much.
