The England team will play the only Test match against Zimbabwe from 22 May to 25 May. There is now a major change in England’s squad for this match. England had announced the squad for this match several days ago, but now there has been a big change in it. English wicketkeeper batsman Jordan Cox has been ruled out of the match due to injury. 21 -year -old James Reve has been included in his place.

Jordan Cox hurt during a county match

James Reve is a left -arm wicketkeeper batsman and his figures in the county championship have been fantastic. Cox had a chance to debut on the last New Zealand tour, but there he suffered a thumb injury, due to which he did not get a chance to play. Now last week, he was injured while playing for Essex at the County Championship. In this match, when Cox was batting for 99 runs, he ran 1 run to complete the century and during this time he was hurt. After completing the century, he returned to the pavilion after retiring.

James Reve’s performance in county cricket has been excellent

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rev was in the eyes of the selectors for some time. He has been a key member of England’s Under-19 team, who was a runner up in the 2022 Under-19 World Cup. He scored 95 runs in the final of that World Cup and was the top run scorer of the team. Let us know that James Rev plays for Somerset in the County Championship. He has scored an average of 54.21 for this team so far. During this time his highest score has been 152. Recently, he had won his team against Essex by playing an innings of 116 runs.

Indian team will visit England in June

After the only Test match against Zimbabwe, England will host India for the five -match Test series in June and will visit Australia for the Ashes series at the end of the year. The only Test against Zimbabwe will be played on 22–25 May at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
