New Zealand have made minor changes to their squad to tour England in May, and then stay on for the ODI series, and ICC Champions Trophy in June.....

Bowler Mark Gillespie and opener Martin Guptill, who is fit again, have been added to the squad which drew 0-0 with England in New Zealand, at the start of 2013.

The pair will add depth to the squad which came so close to beating England at home, with the visitors scrapping a draw on the last day in Auckland.

England will however be favourites at home, in swinging bowling conditions, with the opening test match at Lord's, getting underway on Thursday 16th May.

Former Kiwi captain Daniel Vettori has marked his return from injury, with a call into the one day squad.

New Zealand's Test squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Dean Brownlie, Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Mark Gillespie, Tom Latham, Bruce Martin, Hamish Rutherford, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson.

New Zealand's ODI, Twenty20 and ICC Champions Trophy squad: Brendon McCullum (captain), Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Andrew Ellis, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson.
