By IANS News June 09, 2021 • 13:49 PM View: 2162

With an eye on World Test Championship (WTC) final against India that gets underway on June 18, the New Zealand team management is looking to rotate its pace bowlers and may rest Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson and Neil Wagner from the second Test against England that begins here in Edgbaston on Thursday.

New Zealand have already been bolstered by the arrival of left-arm pace bowler Trent Boult, who is likely to feature in the second Test.
Southee, Wagner and Jamieson all bowled over 40 overs across two innings in the first Test at Lord's.
