Ollie Robinson Misses Out as Dillon Pennington Joins England Squad for West Indies Tests
Ollie Robinson, a star pacer from Sussex, is not included in England’s Test squad for the series against West Indies. Despite his recent performance, England’s managing director Rob Key emphasized the need for Robinson to prove his readiness.
Dillon Pennington, after an impressive County Championship season, has earned his first Test call-up. Rob Key praised Pennington’s pace, consistency, and angle of bowling.
