Ollie Robinson has been handed a second chance to prove his long term fitness for Test cricket with a call up to England's squad to take on South Africa.
The Sussex seamer was named on Tuesday in a 14-man squad for the first two of the three Tests series starting at Lord’s on August 17. And he will be asked to get through a four day tour match against South Africa with the England Lions before he is considered for the Test side.
Robinson was England’s leading wicket-taker in his first summer of Test cricket last year, claiming 28 victims but has sustained a string of niggling injuries since.
