The 24-year-old batter was instrumental in Oval Invincibles\u2019 third consecutive Hundred title, scoring 367 runs at an average of 61.16 and a strike-rate of 173.93. In Sunday\u2019s final at Lord\u2019s, Cox struck a vital 40 off 28 balls in his team\u2019s 26-run victory over Trent Rockets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His consistent form has now earned him an England recall, after a string of near-misses that included injuries disrupting a potential Test debut in New Zealand and a county century earlier this summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cox has featured for England before, playing two T20Is against Australia in September 2024 and three ODIs on the West Indies tour later that year. He now joins a second-string squad captained by 21-year-old Jacob Bethell, who will make history as England\u2019s youngest men\u2019s captain when the series begins in Dublin on September 17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The original squad had been thin on specialist batting, with the possibility of a bowling allrounder filling the No.6 spot. Cox\u2019s inclusion adds depth and balance ahead of matches scheduled for September 17, 19, and 21.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
