ENG vs NZ: Got a chance in the team after 2 years, won by taking 7 wickets, now out due to injury

The England cricket team has been struggling with problems since starting the Test series against New Zealand with a win. The team is facing criticism due to captain Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson being involved in a nightclub controversy and both these stars have been ruled out of the next Test match. If this was not enough, just before the second Test match, fast bowler Olly Robinson also got injured and was ruled out of the Oval Test. Robinson played a big role in the victory by taking 7 wickets in the Lord’s Test.

Got a chance after two years, now out

After the end of the first test match, England players were on a break and now as soon as they started their practice, the team got a bad news. According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, during practice in London, right-arm fast bowler Robinson suffered knee pain, due to which he separated from practice. According to the information, the England Cricket Board will now get his knee scanned, so that it will be known how serious this injury is. However, England is hopeful that he will be able to play in the third test.

Due to this problem, Robinson has been ruled out of the second Test match starting from June 17 at the Oval and now England will have to find a replacement for him in the playing-11. Robinson returned to the England team with the Lord’s Test match. He got a chance in the Test team after 2 years and he capitalized on this comeback and gave the team the lead by taking 5 wickets in the first innings against New Zealand. Robinson also took 2 wickets in the second innings and played an important role in England’s big victory.

Who will get the chance in place of Robinson?

Now the question is who will replace Robinson? Atkinson and Stokes are already out, which has weakened England’s attack. Now Robinson’s absence is also increasing the problem. England called young bowler Henry Crocombe into the team for the first time for the second Test match. He has not played international cricket yet. In such a situation, there is a possibility of his debut. In the current situation, Durham’s fast bowler Matthew Potts may also be called by the England team again, who had led the team to victory by taking 8 wickets in an innings in the County Championship on 14th June.
