New Zealand vs England at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, on October 18, is the first of a three-match T20 series.
Mitchell Santner returns to captain New Zealand, after missing the recent home T20 series against Australia due to injury – a series which New Zealand lost 2-0. Rachin Ravindra also returns after injury.
Zak Crawley has received his first call-up to England’s T20 squad, with Ben Duckett rested ahead of the Ashes. Jofra Archer and Jamie Smith are also rested for the same reason.
The series is part of both teams’ preparations for the T20 World Cup, which begins in February.
For England, this is their penultimate T20 series before the tournament, with only three more T20 matches scheduled after that. New Zealand, meanwhile, has 10 matches remaining.
This is the first time in six years that England have played T20 matches in New Zealand. The visitors have a good record here, with seven wins and four defeats in previous meetings.
