Mark Chapman and Jimmy Neesham will miss the tour as they await the births of their first children.
Ish Sodhi is also returning home after the T20I series against England to spend time with his family.
All-rounder Michael Bracewell remains unavailable for selection as he continues to recover following surgery on his ruptured achilles.
“Kane Williamson will link up with the side during the England tour to train and continue his rehabilitation following surgery on his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in April.” NZC said in an official release.
Speaking on the selection, BLACKCAPS head coach Gary Stead said “We’re delighted to include Kyle in this squad alongside his earlier selection for the T20 squads to play the UAE and England.
“He’s been working extremely hard on his rehabilitation following back surgery and we’re looking forward to seeing him back playing on the international stage.
Gary Stead said the series represented good preparation for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.
“It’s also great to welcome Trent back into our ODI unit as he begins his preparation towards the World Cup in India.” he said.
“England has been an impressive white ball side for quite some time, and we’re excited to be taking them on at home on the eve of the World Cup.”
“We’ve obviously had a history of great games against them and I’m sure the four matches will provide all the usual drama and excitement.
“It should be a really competitive series and I know the group will be looking forward to returning to play at the likes of The Oval and Lord’s once again.”
