England will give opportunities to the uncapped Harry Brook and Matthew Potts in the first Test of a new era under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

Both were named this morning in a 13-man squad for the first two Tests against world champions New Zealand, starting at Lord’s on June 2, with England mixing old with the new by bringing back Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad.

There were no places for Ollie Robinson, who has barely played for Sussex this season after missing the whole of the series against West Indies with a back injury, nor Dan Lawrence, who is recovering from a hamstring problem.
