India Today
Matt Parkinson made his Test debut at Lord's as a concussion substitute for Jack Leach. England beat New Zealand by five wickets in the first Test on Sunday.
England have added leg-spinner Matt Parkinson to their squad for the second Test match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, beginning June 10.
The 25-year-old Parkinson is the only change to England's squad from the first Test, which they won by five wickets at Lord's after former skipper Joe Root played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 115 off 170.
"We've added Matt Parkinson to our Test squad for the second Test at Trent Bridge," England Cricket tweeted.

Parkinson made his Test debut in an unconventional manner, coming in as a concussion substitute for spinner Jack Leach, who hurt himself while fielding. Leach has still been retained in the team but has to prove his fitness to be available for playing XI selection.
