Last week, England men’s cricket club trainer Chris Silverwood had predicted up Kent’s wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings and Nottinghamshire’s top-order batsman Haseeb Hameed to the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
The call-ups arrived since England wicketkeeper Ben Foakes was dominated from the upcoming Test series against New Zealand after tearing his left wing.
Foakes, that had been chosen from the England men’s team earlier this month, had been set to perform his first Test at house conditions next month in Lord’s, however he continued the injury slipping at the dressing room following Surrey’s County Championship fixture against Middlesex in the Kia Oval.
“He will be evaluated and operate closely with his rehab using the Surrey medical staff and is anticipated to be out of action for three or more months,” that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) stated in a formal announcement.
Billings, a recognized member of England’s white-ball squads, is uncapped as a Test player.
On the flip side, Hameed, that has been in impressive form throughout the 2021 county year, has scored 474 runs in a mean of 52.66.
He played Test cricket at November 2016.
His three Test caps came from India through England’s winter tour of 2016.
England and New Zealand will soon be locking horns in 2 Tests, starting June 2 in Lord’s Cricket Ground.
