England on Saturday called up uncapped seam bowler Henry Crocombe ahead o second Test against New Zealand at The Oval, slated to be begin from June 17.
Crocombe has been drafted in as cover for Ollie Robinson, who reported knee soreness following a training session on Friday and is due to undergo a precautionary scan.
The 24-year-old recently impressed for England Lions, bagging four wickets in the first innings against South Africa A at Beckenham in May.
England's fast-bowling resources have been reduced by the absence of Gus Atkinson.
Atkinson was omitted from the squad for the second Test, along with England captain Ben Stokes, after breaching the team's midnight curfew following the first Test victory over New Zealand.
