New Zealand players will have mixed emotions when we turn up at Lord's for England Test: Tim Southee

New Zealand tour of England: Fast bowler Tim Southee also said Kane Williamson's men will not treat the upcoming 2-Test series against England as warm-ups for the World Test Championship final against India.

New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee said on Friday that there will be mixed emotions in their camp when they head to Lord's, London for the first of their 2-Test series against England, starting in June. This is the first time New Zealand will return to the iconic venue since the heartbreak in the World Cup 2019 final against world champions England. New Zealand lost the final which headed into a Super Over. Eoin Morgan's men were crowned champions despite both teams scoring the same amount of runs in the historic Super Over on the basis of more boundaries scored. The controversial boundary count rule was scrapped by the International Cricket Council following critical reactions after the World Cup final. New Zealand players, who are currently in quarantine in Southampton, will open the 2-Test series against England at the Lord's from June 2.
