England will play New Zealand in their maiden Test series next month; following the appointments of Ben Stokes as captain and Rob Key as Managing Director of Men’s Cricket, as well as two new head coaches.
Following their big revamp, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead feels England will be “more of a threat” when they meet in a three-Test series next month.
England has recruited a new Managing Director of Men’s Cricket in Rob Key, a new Test captain in Ben Stokes, and is expected to appoint two new head coaches after a poor run of play that saw them win just one of their last 17 Test matches.
Despite England’s poor recent record, Stead has dismissed claims that New Zealand can “roll them over,” arguing that England is still a “great team” that will benefit from the adjustments.
