In a recent development, England has called up batter James Rew to fill in for Jordan Cox in the upcoming one-off cricket test against Zimbabwe, scheduled to begin on May 22.
Cox, who was expected to make an impact in the match, sustained an abdominal muscle injury during the English County Championship, forcing him to withdraw. This opens the door for Rew, a promising young cricketer, to potentially make his England debut at Trent Bridge.
Rew, 21, has shown impressive form, boasting an average of 54.21 with the bat for Somerset. As he receives his first senior call-up, all eyes will be on this young player. The England squad, captained by Ben Stokes, includes notable cricketers like Joe Root and Zak Crawley.
