Hey there, time traveller!

LONDON (AP) — England has brought in batter James Rew to replace Jordan Cox in the squad for the one-off cricket test against Zimbabwe starting on May 22.
Cox has been ruled out after sustaining an abdominal muscle injury during the English County Championship.
The 21-year-old Rew would make his England debut if selected for the match at Trent Bridge after getting his first senior call-up. He is averaging 54.21 with the bat for Somerset in the County Championship.
Cox was injured playing for Essex against Somerset on Monday. He has yet to play a test for England, having got injured before what was going to be his debut last year against New Zealand.
