England fast bowler Stuart Broad has expressed surprise over Ollie Robinson's recall to the England team ahead of the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's. Robinson, who was omitted from the Ashes series, is set to take the new ball in the upcoming Test.
Speaking to the media, Broad stated, 'I'm surprised Ollie wasn't picked for the Ashes. I didn't expect it at all.' He further added, 'I'm not sure why he wasn't picked, but I'm sure there are reasons behind it.'
The England team is gearing up for the first Test against New Zealand, and Robinson's inclusion has raised eyebrows. The 29-year-old has been in excellent form, taking 6 wickets in the County Championship so far this season.
Robinson's exclusion from the Ashes series was a surprise to many, and his recall has sparked debate among cricket fans. The England team's selection committee has not provided a clear explanation for the decision, leaving many to speculate.
The first Test against New Zealand is set to begin on 2 June at Lord's, and Robinson's performance will be closely watched. The England team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing Ashes series, and Robinson's inclusion could be a key factor in their success.
