England play two Tests in New Zealand starting in Auckland on March 22 after being thrashed 4-0 by Australia in the Ashes series that ended in Sydney this week.

He kept his hand in by playing for Canterbury, his New Zealand birth province, for a month, but has since returned home to be with his wife and young family.
Livingstone was rewarded for his form with Lancashire, with National Selector James Whitaker saying they had been watching him for some time.
Selectors also recalled Durham seamer Wood, who is back in the Test squad for the first time since last year.
