Ollie Robinson compared to Australia hero Glenn McGrath on England Test return

Ollie Robinson has made his return to the England Test team for the first time since the Ashes and Steve Harmison has compared the seamer to Australia legend Glenn McGrath.

Robinson enjoyed an impressive start to his international career last year as he picked up 39 wickets at an average of 21.28 in his first nine Test matches. However, after his fitness was criticised during the Ashes by England bowling coach Jon Lewis, Robinson's career stalled.

The 28-year-old did not play against the West Indies in March after failing to recover from a back spasm and he then suffered numerous setbacks which has limited him to just three County Championship appearances for Sussex, with Robinson dealing with a tooth infection and food poisoning as well as back issues.
