England vs New Zealand T20I Series 2023: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live-streaming details
Scheduled from August 30 to September 5, 2023, England is gearing up to host a riveting four-match T20I series against New Zealand.
The English squad, captained by Jos Buttler, will take on the Black Caps led by Tim Southee. Both uncapped John Turner and Josh Tongue were ruled out of England's T20I squad due to injuries and were replaced by Brydon Carse and Chris Jordan respectively.
Similarly, New Zealand's squad witnessed Jimmy Neesham's unfortunate exit, leading to Cole McConchie's inclusion.
Recent history reveals that England faced a setback in their last T20I encounter in March 2023, succumbing to a 3-0 defeat against Bangladesh. Conversely, New Zealand's form appears strong, coming off a victorious 2-1 series against the United Arab Emirates in mid-August 2023.
As anticipation builds, it's worth noting that England holds the upper hand in recent exchanges with New Zealand. Back in 2019, they clinched a 3-2 victory in a five-match T20I series. This sets the stage for an enthralling contest as both teams seek to leave their mark on the upcoming series.
