Meet James Rew, the merciless and merciless star of England – and why he has been for the summit since the age of 17

James Rew is the most prolific young Centurion that this country has produced since the Second World War – and England rewarded it for its exploits yesterday with a first appeal test.

A few hours after having become the youngest Englishman to mark 10 hundred first classes since the legendary Denis Compton in 1939, the 21 -year -old was appointed to replace the injuries of the unfortunate Jordan Cox.

This is the conversion rate of the left-hander of Somerset by transforming the half-century into hundreds, it should really be renowned without stimulus. Only eight times, he failed to double once reached 50.

Rew 116’s fourth-mine against Essex in Taunton, the cornerstone of the superb three-gates on Monday of a target of 321 points, brought its average to 54.21 in the county championship this season.

Comté lovers will undoubtedly be encouraged that England seems to react to the domestic form by choosing its first summer team, for the unique test match against Zimbabwe in Trent Bridge later this month. Cox, himself not capped, on average 77.

However, in truth, this must be as much to consistent with the selection. COX was a member of the test team last winter, while Rew was identified for the first time as an international future from 2021 when, as an unknown 17 -year -old, he was plunged into the first class beginnings for a county XI representative against India.

The following summer, a few days after marking his third appearance in the championship for Somerset with a young girl, he was promoted for a team of lions in England for the first time.

He did not appear in the four-day match against a Xi South Africa in Canterbury, but it could have been significant that head coach Brendon McCullum spent time in the group that week.

Rew was also a key member of the England team who finished as a finalist in the World Cup under the age of 19 of this year, at the top of the final with 95.

A first senior call is mainly like a blanket for the first six, but it is nevertheless only a punch or a last minute illness to become the 719th test of England and the 16th of the Bazball era.

“It will be a case that I enjoy my time and learning as much as possible. I will try to impregnate as much knowledge and information as possible of these best players and coaches, “he said.

“If the opportunity to play arises, then I will obviously try to take it with both hands. Whatever happens, it will be an incredible experience.

The joy of a man is however the misfortune of another. Ironically, it was in the defeat of Essex to Taunton that Cox underwent a parallel injury in the sweeping process, a few moments before raising its own century.

The scans later revealed a 4 mm tear in an abdominal muscle, declaring him get out of the four -day test against the Zimbabweans, from May 22.

The damage does not require surgery, but will put it in mind for several weeks and he discussed his rehabilitation plan with BCE Cricket Director Rob on Wednesday evening. A return in early June in the Vitality T20 explosion now on the cards.

This last misfortune for the 24-year-old follows a broken thumb six months ago which cost him the beginnings in New Zealand, after being chosen to replace Jamie Smith as a guardian of England for the three game series.

Rew, who did a tour of Australia with the Lions of England last winter, also keeps the counter, but as Cox was chosen for his striker.

He will join the rest of the 13 men’s team and recovering the Brydon Carse launcher in London this weekend before a short training camp in Loughborough next week to prepare the test team for a summer that also includes a blockbuster of five games against India.
