New Zealand are boosted by the return of all-rounder Mitchell Santner for their Test series against England, which begins at Lord’s on Thursday. Santner, 34, was initially ruled out of the first Test due to a shoulder injury he suffered last month during the Indian Premier League. His recovery allows him to rejoin the squad for the opening match. Santner is also the Black Caps’ white-ball captain and a key part of New Zealand’s spin bowling options. The return is expected to strengthen New Zealand’s balance in the series, bringing back an all-rounder and specialist spinner who was unavailable at the start of the tour. The information is reported as part of New Zealand’s selection update ahead of the first Test, with multiple outlets noting that his shoulder injury from the IPL had been the reason for his earlier absence. The series opener at Lord’s therefore proceeds with Santner included.
