England bowler Ollie Robinson has re-engaged with head coach Brendon McCullum and managing director Rob Key as he pursues a recall to the Test team. The 32-year-old, who earned 20 Test caps (2021-2024) with 76 wickets at 22.92, faced fitness setbacks including back spasms against Australia (2021-22) and India (2023). His rapport with McCullum and captain Ben Stokes soured after the Indian series, leading to his contract termination in October 2024.

Robinson, who took 39 wickets at 24.74 in 10 Sussex matches (2025) and scored a career-best 100 against Surrey, now aims to reclaim his spot amid England’s bowling turmoil.
