India, June 2 -- England and New Zealand will resume their quest to reach the World Test Championship (WTC) as Ben Stokes and co. will host the Kiwis in a three-Test series, beginning on June 4 at the Lord's Cricket Ground. It will be a significant challenge for both teams, with England not losing a series at home since Brendon McCullum's appointment as the head coach. By contrast, England were the last side to beat New Zealand in their backyard, accomplishing the feat in 2021. England are coming off a forgettable tour of Australia, while New Zealand warmed up to face England by consigning Ireland to an innings loss.
