Before we ruin Roy , buttler and bairstow as white ball players maybe we should stop picking them in test matches

2 Tests in NZ not included in WTC so some players rested. Talk is that it will be Root, Bairstow and Buttler and Stokes will be captain.
NZ - Very rough guess, Burns, Sibley 55.82, Malan 56.69, Stokes, Pope 147.00, Livingstone 40.67
Foakes 29.29, Davies 48.78
Anderson, Broad, Archer, Wood, Stone
Leach, Ali

Be interesting to see who gets a central contract at the end of the month. Think it will be
Ali Archer Anderson Bairstow Broad Buttler Curran Leach Root Stokes Woakes
Rashid missing out. He only played 4 Tests. Burns and Denly to get runs in the next two Tests to see if they get one.
