Zak Crawley: England opener out of Sri Lanka Test series with broken finger

England opener Zak Crawley has been ruled out of the Test series against Sri Lanka starting this month because of a fractured finger.

The 26-year-old damaged the little finger on his right hand attempting to take a catch at second slip in the victory over West Indies at Edgbaston last week which sealed a 3-0 series clean sweep.

Surrey’s Dan Lawrence will open alongside Ben Duckett in Crawley’s absence.

Essex’s Jordan Cox has been called up to the Test squad for the first time.

The 23-year-old has scored 763 runs, including three centuries, at an average of 69.36 in 12 County Championship matches this season.

He was an unused member of England’s white-ball squad on the 2022 tour of Pakistan.

Nottinghamshire fast bowler Olly Stone, who has played three Tests amid several absences through injury, returns to the squad for the first time since June 2021.

He replaces uncapped seam bowler and Notts team-mate Dillon Pennington, who suffered a hamstring injury playing for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred on Friday.
