Cook, Cox Included In England Squad For One-off Test Against Zimbabwe
Skipper Ben Stokes: Uncapped duo Sam Cook and Jordan Cox have been included in England's 13-man squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe, starting on May 22 at Trent Bridge. Skipper Ben Stokes is fit to lead England after undergoing left hamstring surgery last year.
Cook, 27, has been one of the most consistent bowlers in county cricket while turning out for Essex in recent years. He has picked 318 first-class wickets at an average of 19.77 and impressed on the England Lions tour of Australia over the winter, taking 13 wickets across three matches.
On the other hand, Cox, who broke his thumb before the first Test against New Zealand last year, has been given another chance to potentially make his debut in red-ball cricket for England. Just like Cook, Cox also plays county cricket for Essex.
