Ollie Robinson to join England team ahead of the 2nd Test against Pakistan

The England and Cricket Board (ECB) has named the Sussex pacer Ollie Robinson ahead of the second Test match against Pakistan on Saturday. 

Robinson will now be joining the England team for the second Test match against Pakistan starting from August 13-17 at Ageas Bowl, Southampton. 

The County cricket is also underway and now Robinson will have to pull himself out of the Sussex side and he won’t be able to participate in the upcoming Bob Willis Trophy clash with the Kent. 

The ECB informed the fans on Twitter on Saturday by tweeting:Seamer Ollie Robinson has been withdrawn from Sussex’s squad for their Bob Willis Trophy match against Kent.

The 26-year-old seamer has played 57 First-class matches, taking 244 wickets for the Sussex so far. He got his maiden International against Pakistan and now he will enter the bubble in Southampton. 

After his inclusion, England will have five seamers for the second test including him. Four of them being James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes. 

The second Test match will begin from August 13 in Southampton inside the bio-secured bubble arranged by the ECB.
