“We’ve started to earn the right now to play longer series than two Tests,” Hesson told reporters at Lord’s on Wednesday following a team training session. That’s something we are looking forward to and our administrators want to make it happen,” said Hesson.  Mike Hesson wanted longer series between New Zealand and England
