England Consider Sonny Baker Test Debut

England have announced a 12-man squad for their first match against New Zealand at Lord's starting Thursday, with a decision on whether to give Sonny Baker a Test debut postponed until the last minute. Brendon McCullum supports Baker's "full noise" approach, while Gus Atkinson could play if conditions are less hot at Lord's. betsport24.es

The squad mirrors the approach from the first Ashes Test last November, featuring both Mark Wood and Shoaib Bashir. Bashir has been preferred over Rehan Ahmed as the frontline spinner, while Jacob Bethell is fit after a finger injury and available to bowl if needed.
