Cook, who plays for Essex in the County Championship, has taken 321 first-class wickets and made a name for himself on the England Lions tour of Australia where he picked up 13 wickets in three matches. The 27-year-old will be part of an inexperienced bowling attack alongside Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson and spinner Shoaib Bashir, with England's pace department depleted after injuries to key bowlers including Mark Wood and Chris Woakes. Zak Crawley has retained his spot as opener despite his underwhelming performances in recent tests, while Ollie Pope returns to number three. The match, which begins on Thursday, is Zimbabwe's first test in England in 22 years and marks the start of the English summer.
