Bashir, Robinson Recalled to England Squad for First Test v New Zealand
England named two uncapped players and recalled Ollie Robinson as Ben Stokes leads a 12-player squad for the Lord's series opener.
- On Tuesday, the England and Wales Cricket Board named a 12-player squad for Thursday's first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, led by captain Ben Stokes.
- Selection changes from the original 15 include the call-up of uncapped Durham batter Emilio Gay and Hampshire pacer Sonny Baker, while Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson returns to the Test side for the first time since February 2024.
- Head coach Brendon McCullum highlighted weather's tactical influence, stating, "We'll just work out whether we want the extra air speed, if all of a sudden it becomes 35 degrees and flattens out."
- New Zealand recalled 34-year-old Mitchell Santner to their squad after he recovered from a shoulder injury sustained during the Indian Premier League, with the team now in London.
- England begins a three-Test series following a 4-1 Ashes loss to Australia, with matches at The Oval and Trent Bridge scheduled to follow later this month.
