The New Zealand men’s cricket team departed for England on Saturday night to play a two-Test series, followed by the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against the Virat Kohli-captained India.
While the Black Caps will play the first Test against the hosts from June 2 in London, the second Test will commence in Birmingham on June 10.
The Kiwis will then take on India in WTC final at Southampton from June 18.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) posted pictures of the departing team on twitter and instagram.
“London on Getting set. After two Lincoln camps, our New Zealand-based players heading to England! The squad will travel to Southampton on arrival in England to prepare for the first Test against @englandcricket starting at the @homeofcricket (Lord’s) on the 2nd of June,” NZC said on instagram.
