New Zealand head coach Gary Stead believes England will be "more of a threat" when they face off in a three-Test series next month, following their major overhaul.
After a terrible run of form which saw England win just one of their last 17 Test matches, they have appointed a new Managing Director of Men's Cricket in Rob Key, a new Test captain in Ben Stokes and are set to appoint two new head coaches.
And despite England's poor recent record, Stead has rejected any suggestions that New Zealand can "roll them over", insisting England remain a "quality team" and that the changes will give them "an immediate lift".
