England's Test cricket team was in disarray after they had faced a humiliating series defeat in West Indies. Soon after the loss, Joe Root stepped down as England's Test captain. Now looking to make a fresh start, Ben Stokes, who has replaced Joe Root will be under the guidance of new coach Brendon McCullum. 

Talking about the Kiwis, they will be looking to repeat the success that they had on their last tour of England in 2021. New Zealand had scripted history in that series by defeating England by eight wickets in the second Test and winning the two-match series 1-0. It was their first series triumph in England in 22 years.
