The lanky pacer has earned the call after impressing for England Lions in the recently concluded series against India A, according to reports.
Standing tall at 6-foot-4, Jack has "impressed" the England Lions' coaching group, including Andrew Flintoff, Mark Wood, and Graeme Swann, according to London-based news outlet The Times. Jack plies his trade for Hampshire in domestic cricket but is yet to make his debut in the County Championship. He has played only two first-class games so far, with both appearances coming against India A.
Last month, Jack had also impressed during the warm-up game against Zimbabwe. The highly-rated pacer had picked up five wickets while representing a combined counties XI. Against India A, he troubled some notable names such as Rahul, Nitish Reddy, and Dhruv Jurel with his line and length. He eventually finished the series with 4 wickets.
England invite Eddie Jack:
The only fast-bowling options in the England squad for the first Test are Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Jamie Overton, and Chris Woakes. Tongue is also in the squad but is doubtful for the series opener. Jack could be added to the main squad if he impresses in the nets as well.
England squad for 1st Test:
Stokes (C), Bashir, Bethell, Brook, Carse, Cook, Crawley, Duckett, Overton, Pope, Root, Smith, Tongue, Woakes
