England, New Zealand one-day international teams announced

England, New Zealand ODI teams announced

Alastair Cook is one of five England players ready to return for the one-day international series against New Zealand.

Captain Cook, Ian Bell, Graeme Swann, James Anderson and Jonathan Trott all missed the Twenty20 series against the Black Caps, which the tourists won 2-1 with a brutal 10-wicket success in the deciding match.

Cook said that the trio of Swann, Anderson and Trott could be a little "undercooked" as they haven't played for England since before Christmas.

"Belly and I played a couple of weeks ago, so the other guys are probably a little bit underdone," he said.

The first ODI begins at 1am UK time at Seddon Park, Hamilton.

England: Cook, Bell, Trott, Morgan, Root, Buttler, Patel, Broad, Swann, Finn, Anderson, Bairstow, Woakes, Tredwell, Harris

New Zealand: McCullum, Guptill, Williamson, Taylor, Watling, Munro, Franklin, McCullum, Boult, McClenaghan, Mills, Elliott, Ellis
