London [UK], After a poor tour of India, Sussex's star pacer Ollie Robinson is a notable absence from England's Test team against the West Indies, as the abundance of fast bowling options in England cricket county, including this week's new pick, Dillon Pennington, meant Robinson had to prove he was ready to earn a recall. Even though England men's manager Rob Key claimed he did not notice the record-breaking 43 runs Robinson delivered to Leicestershire's Louis Kimber last week.
Although Robinson's record-breaking 43 runs against Leicestershire's Louis Kimber last week went unnoticed by England men's general manager Rob Key when he said Robinson had plenty of fast bowling options in county cricket, including the new selection of this week, Dillon Pennington, and that he needed to prove that he was ready to be called up.
"Ollie Robinson is back to his best in the last two games, we just need to see him more often. It's not the time to take our foot off the gas, because there are some really good bowlers out there." Key said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
England have picked a number of bowlers for the home series, including Anderson, Pennington, Matthew Potts, Gus Atkinson and the returning Chris Woakes. Seamer Dillon Pennington earned his first Test call-up after an impressive performance in the Nottinghamshire County Championship.
"Dillon Pennington probably wasn't on our radar at all, but I loved watching him bowl this summer. He's got a bit of pace, he's relentless in his consistency and also the angle he bowls. He's really very active. This year. And we have enjoyed it," he added.
England have named a 14-member strong squad for the first two Tests against the West Indies at home, which will be led by Ben Stokes.
The series will be the second edition of the Richards-Botham Trophy, with the West Indies winning the inaugural edition in 2022. The first Test will take place from July 10 to 14 at Lord's Cricket Ground, while the second will take place on the 18th. in Trent. Bridge.
Team: Ben Stokes (c), James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Dillon Pennington, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes.
