James Rew Joins England Test Squad, Replacing Injured Jordan Cox

England has called up Somerset's 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batter James Rew to the Test squad for the upcoming one-off match against Zimbabwe, replacing the injured Jordan Cox. Cox was forced to withdraw after sustaining an abdominal injury during a County Championship match, marking the second time injury has denied him a Test debut. Rew, who has been in outstanding form this season with a batting average above 54 and a top score of 152, earns his first senior England call-up. Despite his impressive domestic performance, Rew may not feature in the starting lineup, given England's established top-order options. The Test at Trent Bridge begins May 22 and precedes England's series against India and the upcoming Ashes in Australia.
