• Captain Eoin Morgan eager to use uncapped players in squad
• Five-match Twenty20 series begins in Christchurch on Friday
Three months on from the heart-stopping Super Over finish to the World Cup at Lord’s, amid the more sedate surroundings of the picturesque Hagley Oval, England and New Zealand will be reunited for the start of a five-match Twenty20 series.
Friday’s opener in Christchurch could scarcely be further from that famous day by way of distance, magnitude or personnel. Kane Williamson, so gracious after his Black Caps side were denied by the barest of margins, is lying low until the Tests due to a longstanding hip issue, while the tourists have rested a raft of senior players.
