Seamer Ollie Robinson had a roller-coaster journey in Test cricket during his first year in the format in 2021. He began on a high note, taking 28 wickets in his first five Tests, but faced the disappointment of being dropped from England’s Ashes tour to Australia at the end of the year. During the Ashes series, there were concerns about Robinson’s fitness, especially when he was seen bowling off-spin during the Adelaide Test. Despite these challenges, Robinson has made a successful return to the side and, after 16 Tests, he now boasts an impressive bowling average of 21.27.
