Ollie Robinson won the last of his 20 Test caps against India in 2024
England have ended Ollie Robinson's two-year international exile and called up uncapped trio Emilio Gay, James Rew and Sonny Baker for the first Test since the dismal Ashes campaign.
Sussex seamer Robinson, 32, returns after being dropped in 2024 as England look for an attack leader to take on New Zealand at Lord's from 4 June.
As expected, opener Zak Crawley pays the price for his disappointing tour of Australia - which ended in a 4-1 England defeat - and is left out for the first time since captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum took charge of the Test team in 2022.
Crawley's place in the XI is likely to go to Durham 26-year-old Gay, who has the advantage over fellow left-hander Rew, 22, by virtue of being a specialist opener.
