US EditionUncapped Cook and Cox in England cricket squad for Zimbabwe test
- England announced a 13-player squad that features uncapped Essex players Sam Cook and Jordan Cox for their single Test match against Zimbabwe, scheduled to take place at Trent Bridge beginning on May 22, 2025.
- The squad inclusion follows injuries to key fast bowlers like Mark Wood and Chris Woakes, creating a vacancy for swing and seam specialists with Cook and Cox filling the gap.
- Cook, age 27, took 318 first-class wickets and impressed during the England Lions tour of Australia, while Cox, age 24, missed a previous potential debut due to a broken thumb but has started the season well.
- Captain Ben Stokes returns from hamstring surgery but may bowl limited overs, and Gus Atkinson will lead the pace attack amid a depleted bowling lineup.
- This Test marks Zimbabwe's first in England since 2003 and opens England’s international summer ahead of major series against India and Australia later in 2025.
