LONDON (Reuters) - Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth is poised to make his debut after being named on Thursday in a 12-man squad for the first test against New Zealand at Lord's that starts on May 21.

Lyth is set to partner captain Alastair Cook at the top of the order after Jonathan Trott announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect following a disappointing recent tour of the West Indies.
