England includes pacer Robinson in squad for second test

MANCHESTER: Pacer Ollie Robinson, who was part of the Sussex squad, will join the England squad ahead of next week’s second Test against Pakistan at Southampton.

According to England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the fast bowler has been withdrawn from the Sussex squad for their upcoming Bob Willis Trophy game against Kent at Canterbury.

England’s cricket board informed that Ollie Robinson will now join up with the Test squad in their bio-secure ‘bubble’ at Hampshire’s Ageas Bowl headquarters on Monday.

England is currently playing the opening Test against Pakistan, featuring a four-pronged pace attack, including James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer, and Chris Woakes at Old Trafford. Earlier, England had beaten the West Indies 2-1 in a three-match series last month.

Robinson, who has picked 244 wickets in 57 first-class games, has previously been a part of the England Test squad but is yet to make his international debut.
