England fast bowler Ollie Robinson aims for a Test recall after receiving encouraging messages from head coach Brendon McCullum and managing director Rob Key. Having played 20 Tests between 2021 and 2024, Robinson lost his central contract amid fitness concerns and team management issues. He has since performed well for Sussex, taking 39 wickets in 2025 and scoring a first-class century. Robinson said the support has motivated him to pursue a return to the national side.
