Overview
- Robinson says Brendon McCullum texted and Rob Key called this season to tell him the door to a Test recall remains open.
- He has strengthened his case at Sussex with 11 wickets so far this summer and an unbeaten 100 in a ninth‑wicket stand with Jack Carson against Surrey.
- England plan to name a squad in mid-May for a three-Test home series against New Zealand that begins on June 4.
- Injuries and IPL commitments have reduced fast-bowling options, with Mark Wood and Brydon Carse out and Jofra Archer at the IPL, while Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue look the most secure picks.
- His last Test came in February 2024, he lost his ECB central contract that October, and he says past back spasms and a pulled podcast episode are now behind him.
