England will take on New Zealand in the first Test of the summer at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, London. England’s Test cricket is in trouble after a humiliating defeat in the Test series against West Indies. England went on to lose the Test series 1–0, losing to the West Indies by 10 wickets in the third and final match.
After the series loss, Joe Root stepped down as England’s Test captain. England would like to make a fresh start under a new leadership group.
