England has less than a month left to prepare for the New Zealand Test match. With IPL 2021 canceled England can now select their star player in the squad. Or they could choose to rest players like Jos Buttler and Sam Curran and give other deserving players a chance, though Ben Stokes would still be out of action for a while with a broken finger.
Another dilemma the team faces is with their top order would they again go ahead with Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, and Zak Crawley? Even after the winter struggle? They also have Gloucestershire’s James Bracey at their disposal. England also has plenty of seamers to choose from another tough choice with the likes of Chris Woakes, Curran, James Anderson, and Stuart Broad in contention, they complete with Jofra Archer who would recover from injury soon, and Mark Wood, Olly Stone, Craig Overton, and Ollie Robinson all make up for a tough choice England faces.
