England is set to kick off their international cricket summer with a one-off Test match against Zimbabwe, starting Thursday, May 22, 2025, at Trent Bridge. This fixture is significant as it marks Zimbabwe’s first Test in England since 2003.
In preparation for the match, England has announced a 13-player squad. The selection features two uncapped players at Test level: Sam Cook and Jordan Cox, both from Essex, who have been rewarded for their impressive performances in domestic cricket.
