Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter James Rew will make his debut in a much-changed England team for the second test against New Zealand after being called in to replace Jamie Smith on Tuesday.
"Smith has been withdrawn from the test match following the birth of his second child earlier today, enabling him to remain with his partner and family," said the England and Wales Cricket Board in a statement.
England won the first test at Lord's, but Rew, a 22-year-old Somerset player, will be one of three debutants and five changes at The Oval.
Fast bowler Sonny Baker and batter Jordan Cox, who is also a wicketkeeper, had already been called up to replace captain and allrounder Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson, who were dropped after breaking curfew following last Sunday's victory.
Jofra Archer and Matt Fisher have also been recalled in place of fast bowler Ollie Robinson, who is injured, and spinner Shoaib Bashir, who has been dropped.
Atkinson and Robinson both took seven wickets in the first test.
Last season Rew, a left-hander, became the youngest Englishman to hit 10 first-class centuries since Denis Compton in 1939. He has scored two more since.
He was called into the test squad for one match against Zimbabwe last year and toured Australia as captain of England's development Lions squad.
