Emilio Gay drove from Durham to Bedford to tell his parents about his first England call-up after receiving the news at 08:00 BST. The 26-year-old will open against New Zealand at Lord's on June 4, replacing Zak Crawley. Gay's love for cricket was sparked by a trip to the Caribbean in 2007. He has 13 hundreds in 72 first-class matches and averages over 40. Despite being one of two uncapped batters alongside James Rew, Gay is confirmed to open. He will become the 720th man to play Test cricket for England. Gay embraces the pressure, drawing from past experiences like facing Jimmy Anderson.

His family roots in Grenada and Italian mother influenced his early cricket journey. Gay's call-up is seen as a positive, with his form earning him the spot after Crawley's omission post-Ashes.

The England team has recently favored youthful selections, with Gay's experience and recent centuries making him a strong candidate.
