This will be a big miss for the Three Lions as Ollie Robinson was their best bowler in the first Test at Lord’s. He is suffering from "knee soreness" after a training session on Friday. Ollie Robinson came back into the side for the first time in over two years as he took seven wickets in the first Test.
Previously, Ollie Robinson was banned in 2021 because of historical racist and sexist tweets he posted between 2012 and 2014, when he was 18 to 20 years old. He was banned for eight matches and fined £3,200. However, the pacer has a long history of fitness records with England and was dropped after the 2023-24 tour of India despite a record of 76 wickets at 22.92.
Ollie Robinson's history of injury continues
Crocombe has featured regularly in recent Lions squads; however, he is yet to make his international debut. He has 21 Division One wickets at 28.61 this season, and he picked 4 for 65 in the Lions' first unofficial Test against South Africa A earlier this month. Though he is on the side, there might not be a chance he gets called into the XI straight away.
Jofra Archer set to lead the pace attack
"Now, we've just got to make sure we're upskilling them so if the opportunity arises in the years to come, they're ready to step in and perform. It's a good place to be when you have a battery of fast bowlers you can call on."
