England weigh up Test debut for Sonny Baker

Published June 2, 2026 · Updated June 2, 2026 · The Guardian

England are considering giving Sonny Baker a Test debut against New Zealand at Lord's, with the decision potentially influenced by weather conditions.

England have announced a 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand starting Thursday at Lord's. Brendon McCullum supports Baker's "noise" approach, while Gus Atkinson could play if conditions are less hot.

The squad features both Mark Wood and Shoaib Bashir, similar to the Ashes Test last November. Bashir has been preferred over Rehan Ahmed as the frontline spinner, with Jacob Bethell also fit after a finger injury. saltysenoritaaz.com
