Ollie Robinson, Emilio Gay, James Rew and Sonny Baker in England Test squad

  • On Wednesday, England appointed former Australia batter Marcus North as selector, with North set to contribute to the selection of all men's squads from senior teams through youth programs.
  • North replaces Luke Wright after three years in the role, a move following England's embarrassing 4-1 Ashes loss to Australia where critics argued selectors ignored county form.
  • England dropped opener Zak Crawley and No. 3 Ollie Pope for the first test starting June 4 against New Zealand, introducing three uncapped players to the squad.
  • Facing depleted fast-bowling stocks after retirements of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, and Chris Woakes, selectors called up Matthew Fisher and 23-year-old Sonny Baker alongside uncapped players Emilio Gay and James Rew.
  • North joins a panel including coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes as England seeks to identify players who can thrive at international level ahead of the New Zealand series.
