Delhi: Essex’s unaccounted players Sam Cook and Jordan Cox have been included in England’s 13 -member team, which will play the only Test match against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge from 22 May. This will be Zimbabwe’s first Test in England after 2003.
Cook is considered a skilled seam bowler. He has so far taken 318 wickets in 88 first class matches at an average of 19.77. Sam recently caught the attention of the selectors by taking 13 wickets in three matches on England Lions’ tour of Australia.
At the same time, aggressive batsman Jordan Cox is also ready for Test debut. He was about to get a chance to make his debut on New Zealand tour last year, but he was out in the last time due to the thumb break in the nets.
Let us know that England needed a swing and seam specialist due to the retirement of experienced bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad and the injury of Chris Woakes, which Cook has been included in the team to complete.
Team captain Ben Stokes has not played for Durham till now this season, as he is recovering from haemstring injury. There is still doubt about his bowling contribution.
England Squad:
Ben Stokes (Captain), Gas Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Sam Cook, Jordan Cox, Zack Crlay, Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Matthew Pots, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tung.
