Overview
- Robinson, in interviews published Thursday, said he remains confused by being “disregarded” after his last Test in February 2024 and has not heard from team bosses for about 18 months.
- He accepted he has not earned a recall, saying he has lacked wickets, missed games through niggles and must “rip up trees” in the County Championship to get picked.
- He spent the winter in Australian grade cricket and trained with New South Wales players, then returned early for hernia surgery, and now says he feels fitter and stronger.
- He will lead Sussex’s red-ball side this season, aiming to prove durability across 14 games as the ECB review signals greater weight for domestic form in Test selection.
- The seamer has 76 Test wickets at 22.92 and defends current leaders Brendon McCullum, Ben Stokes and Rob Key, while stressing the large gap between county and Test cricket.
