Robinson one of best bowlers in the world: Rob Key

London [UK], May 14: England director of cricket Rob Key said Ollie Robinson is "one of the best bowlers in the world" after ending the Sussex seamer's two-year international exile.
Robinson was dropped after the tour of India in 2024 but has been recalled for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, England's first since the 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia.
The 32-year-old has a superb Test record, with 76 wickets at an average of 22.92 from his 20 matches.
He has often struggled for fitness and was hit by back problems in each of his previous two appearances - against India in Ranchi two years ago and against Australia at Headingley in 2023.
"What we said to him and publicly is when he's fit and bowling at a decent pace for him, around 82 or 83mph, he is world class," said Key.
"When you look at his record he is one of the bowlers right up there statistically, among all the bowlers, of all time.
"We've monitored him a lot. It looks like he's back up to his full fitness and that's what we required of him."
