England’s Robinson ruled out of second test against New Zealand

Seamer Ollie Robinson, whose player-of-the-match performance guided England to ‌victory in the first test against New ​Zealand, ⁠will miss the second match ‌due to a ‌sore right knee, England’s cricket board (ECB) said on Monday.

Playing his first test ‌in over two years, Robinson took seven wickets ⁠including five in the first innings as England won by 115 runs on a difficult wicket at Lord’s.

The 32-year-old experienced knee soreness after a training session ​on Friday and underwent a scan ‌the following day, with the ECB calling up uncapped Henry Crocombe as cover.

“Robinson ⁠will remain with the squad and undergo rehab work on his knee ahead of the ​third ‌test,” the ECB added.

The second match ‌of the three-test series begins at The Oval on Wednesday. England are already without ‌regular captain ‌Ben Stokes and ⁠bowler Gus Atkinson.

The pair were left ‌out of the second test following an investigation into an incident ⁠in a London nightclub.

The third ​test starts on June 25 at Trent Bridge.
