Ahead of the third Test, the hosts have decided to give rookie seamer Josh Hull his first taste of international cricket after including him in the team for the final Test of the summer.
The 20-year-old Hull has taken only 16 first-class wickets in 10 matches. But England has made a habit of gambling on young talent since head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes took charge.
“It's a great week for him to come in, learn a little bit and show off exactly what he can do,” said Ollie Pope, who this week completes a three-game run as stand-in skipper for the injured Stokes.
“Why not get him in? This is a great opportunity for him, you can show exactly what you can do in the international stage.”
