Cox has had a frustrating moment with injuries, denying England’s debut on multiple occasions. The last one has opened the door to Rew, which could have the opportunity to shine.

Will Rew debut against Zimbabwe?

Deleting Jacob Bethell, who starred in the New Zealand tour, England has its first choice batting alignment available for the next test. Which means that, unless one of them has physical condition problems, it is unlikely that Rew has a chance here.

While he would have loved to get a game, Rew has a brilliant future in front of him. It has a solid technique and can keep your own in test conditions. He has also shown that he can adapt to different situations. Although he says he is not a bazballler, Rew is so exciting to see, especially his delicious impulses.

There are many promises in the young man. Its list is an average of 39 and a strike rate of 89 show that it can also be a future option in the white ball cryket. Rew is also age of his side and can become a multi-format star for England in the coming years.
