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.
England has named a strong 14-member squad for the first two Tests, led by Ben Stokes. The series will be the second edition of the Richards-Botham Trophy, with the first Test at Lord’s from July 10 to 14 and the second at Trent Bridge on July 18.
