  • England Name Test Squad for New Zealand Tour
    Liam Livingstone earns Test call-up. (Photo by Getty Images) Jan 10, 2018 21:58 GMT England name Test squad for New Zealand tour England National Cricket Selectors have named the following 16-man squad for the tour of New Zealand starting in March. England Test squad Joe Root (Yorkshire) captain Moeen Ali (Worcestershire) James Anderson (Lancashire) Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire) Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire) Alastair Cook (Essex) Mason Crane (Hampshire) Ben Foakes (Surrey) Liam Livingstone (Lancashire) Dawid Malan (Middlesex) Craig Overton (Somerset) Ben Stokes (Durham) Mark Stoneman (Surrey) James Vince (Hampshire) Chris Woakes (Warwickshire) Mark Wood (Durham) The 24-year-old Lancashire right-hand batsman Liam Livingstone has been included in the squad for the first time. Commenting on the selection of Livingstone, National Selector James Whitaker, said: “Liam has been a player that we have been impressed with for quite some time, having performed well in the county system with Lancashire and over the past couple of years with the England Lions. “He is a very talented and tough cricketer who has the ideal qualities and character to be successful in the Test arena. “During the recent Lions tour of Australia, he was a standout performer and showed a lot of maturity in his attitude and put in some strong performances. We are particularly impressed with the way he bats against spin and is equally adept against the seamers. Liam is also highly regarded at his county Lancashire and will captain the side in the Specsavers County Championship during the 2018 campaign.” Selectors have also recalled Durham seamer Mark Wood, who returns to the Test squad for the first time since last year.
