By AFP News May 13, 2026 • 21:11 PM View: 650

England have dropped struggling opening batsman Zak Crawley from their squad for next month's first Test against New Zealand at Lord's as they look to rebuild following a woeful 4-1 Ashes loss.

Durham's Emilio Gay, one of three uncapped players in a 15-man squad including Hampshire fast bowler Sonny Baker and Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman James Rew, is set to replace Crawley as he is a specialist opener.
