Following their lacklustre Ashes campaign, England are visiting New Zealand for a short test match series. We take a look at five English players who can trouble the hosts on their home soil. New Zealand will need to find a way to tackle these players. The Black Caps will not make it easy for England as this is their last test series in what has been a summer that they haven’t played a lot of tests.

The left-arm orthodox spinner has been called into the side to replace the injured Mason Carne after a stellar 2016 County Cricket season where he took 65 wickets at an average of 21. He also had an excellent England Lions tour against West Indies A where he took 17 wickets.
If this man manages to get a game on this tour, he is someone New Zealand have not seen a lot of which could work in the poms’ favour.
