England wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Fox is injured in the dressing room after being injured in a hamstring injury and is out of the upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand on Wednesday. According to ESPN Cricinfo, after the match between Middlesex and his team Surrey at the County Championships, he was walking in the dressing room wearing socks when he was hurt by slipping.
Haseeb Hameed and Newcomer Sam Billings have been named in the squad for the match against New Zealand. Fox is scheduled to play his first Test at Lord’s in England next month. His fellow wicketkeepers, Jose Butler and Johnny Bairstow, as well as Moin Ali, Sam Karan and Chris Vox, who have competed in the Indian Premier League, have been rested and not included in the Test squad.

Fox could be out of the game for three months due to this injury. If the team’s second wicketkeeper James Bracy performs well behind the wicket, and with the bat in the coming season, Fox will be hard to return to India and the upcoming series and the Ashes series at the end of the year. Fox is under Surrey’s medical team. He has scored 410 in eight Tests.
He has made five stumps with 14 catches behind the wicket. Hamid has returned to England after a long time. He played his last game in November 2016. At present, he has scored 474 runs at an average of 52.66 in the domestic. Billings has yet to make his Test debut.
