Ollie Robinson has been handed another chance to force his way into the forthcoming Test series against New Zealand after being named in the County Select XI that plays the tourists in Chelmsford this week.
Robinson was omitted from the England squad for the first Test at Lord’s next week. It followed a winter in Australia and the Caribbean that was dogged by fitness problems and a truncated start to this season at Sussex. The 28-year-old seamer’s campaign was delayed by a dental problem and, after taking seven wickets against Middlesex at the start of this month, a stomach illness curtailed his second outing at Leicestershire.
