The New Zealand cricket team along with support staff have left for the United Kingdom on Sunday. 

The contingent took a flight from Auckland airport and now they would be making their way to the UK to play the Test series against England and ICC World Test Championship final against India. 

Taking to their official Twitter account, Blackcaps posted the pictures of the contingent departing from the airport.

"Time to fly! #ENGvNZ #WTC21." Black Caps captioned the picture. 

However, skipper Kane Williamson along with pacer Kyle Jamieson and spinner Mitchell Santner, who are currently in the Maldives, will travel to the UK directly. They moved to the island after IPL 2021 was indefinitely postponed.

The two-Test series between England and New Zealand will start from 2nd June at Lord’s cricket ground followed by the second Test to be played at Edgbaston from 10th to 14th June while the WTC final will be played at Rose Bowl in Southampton on June 18-22.
