England bowler Ollie Robinson says he is "excited" at the prospect of being teammates with Australia star Steve Smith after he joined Sussex for a brief stint ahead of this summer's Ashes.
Smith is set to play three County Championship matches against Worcestershire, Leicestershire and Glamorgan in May as part of his preparation for the Ashes. And Robinson says he hopes he can learn "valuable" lessons about how to get Smith out after finding him "awkward to bowl at" in the last Ashes series Down Under.
"People know how I bowl and what I do, so hopefully I can just use it to my advantage," Robinson said when asked about Smith's Sussex stint ahead of England's first Test against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui.
