England Bowled over by Injury to in-Form Paceman
- England's preparations for the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval suffered a blow Sunday, as fast bowler Ollie Robinson was ruled out due to a right knee injury.
- Robinson, who recently returned to Test cricket after two years, reported soreness in his right knee following a training session at Hove on Friday and will undergo scans.
- The injury compounds a challenging period for England, which is already missing captain Ben Stokes and pacer Gus Atkinson following disciplinary investigations into a breach of team protocols at a London nightclub.
- England has called up uncapped Henry Crocombe as injury cover for Robinson, while the team considers other seam options including Jofra Archer, Matthew Fisher, or Sonny Baker.
- An England team spokesperson stated Robinson will "remain with the squad and undergo rehab work on his knee" with the aim of returning for the third Test at Trent Bridge on June 25.
