Ollie Robinson will return to Test cricket on Thursday with a ringing endorsement from his skipper.
Robinson replaces Matthew Potts as the only change to the side that was humbled by an innings at Lord’s last week. The Sussex seamer has not featured for England since completing a miserable finish to the Ashes in Hobart in January.
And in both Australia and then subsequently in the Caribbean in March the 28 year old struggled to make it on the field due to injury and fitness concerns. Stokes believes those issues are now behind the beanpole bowler, who has the skills and the qualities to get good batsmen out.
