uncapped Sussex seamer Henry Crocombe has been called into the England Men’s Test squad as cover for Ollie Robinson. The decision was made after Robinson experienced soreness in his knee following a training session on Friday. To assess the extent of the issue, the pace bowler is scheduled to undergo a precautionary scan on Saturday, June 13.

Adding further depth to the roster ahead of the second Test against New Zealand, England has also drafted Jofra Archer and Jordan Cox into the squad. The reinforcements arrive just in time as the team ramps up its preparations for the crucial clash, which is set to get underway this coming Wednesday at The Kia Oval.

Joe Root, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Sonny Baker, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Ben Duckett, Matthew Fisher, Emilio Gay, James Rew, Ollie Robinson, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue
