England’s Test tour of New Zealand at the back end of the year will comprise of matches in Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton.

Ben Stokes' side are set to finish their 2023-25 World Test Championship commitments against the Black Caps with a series starting on November 28 at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

They then head to the Basin Reserve, the scene of a memorable one-run defeat last year as New Zealand sealed a 1-1 series draw, for the second Test which is due to run from December 6-10.

The series then wraps up at Seddon Park in Hamilton from December 14-18.

England currently lie bottom of the nine-team World Test Championship table, with the top-two progressing to the final at Lord's in June next year.

They have not won a Test series in New Zealand since 2008, when they won 2-1 under the captaincy of Michael Vaughan.
