SOMERSET batter James Rew has been called up to the England squad for this month’s one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.
The uncapped 21-year-old, who this week became the youngest Englishman since Denis Compton in 1939 to reach 10 first-class centuries, replaces the injured Jordan Cox, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced today.
Cox suffered a side strain last weekend whilst in the process of scoring a century in Essex’s County Championship loss to Rew’s Somerset.
