James Rew replaces Jamie Smith as England wicketkeeper for second Test

James Rew will debut for England in the second Test against New Zealand at The Kia Oval on Wednesday. He replaces Jamie Smith, who withdrew following the birth of his second child. Rew, a 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Somerset, becomes the third debutant for England in this match. The team has made five changes since their victory over New Zealand at Lord's. Rew has a notable record, having reached 10 first-class centuries at a young age and is considered a promising addition to the squad.
