# Cricket: England reshaped its squad for the first Test against New Zealand, choosing Emilio Gay as Ben Duckett’s opening partner in place of Zak Crawley. This is reportedly pointing to a rebuild after their woes in the recent Ashes Series against Australia. Twenty-six-year-old Gay is being rewarded for an impressive county championship where he hit three centuries for Durham. Uncapped fast bowler Sonny Baker and wicketkeeper James Rew were also included. The first of three Tests starts at Lord’s in London on the fourth of next month.
