Hampshire fast bowler Sonny Baker has earned his first call up to the England Test squad.

The 23-year-old right-arm quick, who joined Hampshire in 2024, has previously featured for the Three Lions in One Day Internationals and International T20s with his debuts coming in September 2025 against South Africa and Ireland respectively.

England Men begin their international summer against New Zealand at Lord’s on Thursday 4 June, with a three-match Test series.

England Men’s Test Squad for 1^st Test v New Zealand:

Ben Stokes Captain (Durham)	Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire)	James Rew (Somerset)

Gus Atkinson (Surrey)	Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire)	Joe Root (Yorkshire)
Sonny Baker (Hampshire)	Matt Fisher (Surrey)	Jamie Smith (Surrey)
Shoaib Bashir (Derbyshire)	Emilio Gay (Durham)	Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire)

Baker has recently signed a two-year contract extension with Hampshire, which sees him remain at Utilita Bowl until at least the end of the 2028 season.

He has taken 33 wickets for Hampshire in the County Championship and has taken three five-wicket hauls since joining the Rose and Crown.

So far this season, the quick bowler has claimed 14 wickets in four matches, with best figures coming against his former team, Somerset, where he picked up 5/62 in a thrilling match at Utilita Bowl.
