England face their longest trip in Test cricket as they jet down to New Zealand for the start of the winter.

Christchurch-born Ben Stokes returns home for the first Test, while coach Brendon McCullum also heads back to familiar territory.

Securing victory will be a major challenge for England given they haven’t achieved a series triumph away from home since Pakistan in December 2022.

Jacob Bethell has been called up to the squad for the first time, while blossoming wicketkeeper Jamie Smith misses out due to the birth of his first child.
