Sussex captain Ollie Robinson has been recalled by England for the first time in more than two years.

He has been named in a 15-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand, starting at Lord’s on Thursday, June 4. Robinson has found some of his best form since being appointed county captain this season.

After five matches (three of them won) he is second in the county’s bowling averages with 17 wickets at 26.17. He is bettered only by Henry Crocombe (19 wickets at 24.05) who has his own international ambitions, though he is a more likely candidate for the England Lions team at this stage of his career.
