England fast bowler Stuart Broad says he is surprised by the decision to recall Ollie Robinson for the first Test of the summer against New Zealand. The match starts at Lord’s on 4 June, with Robinson expected to play and take the new ball. Broad’s comments reflect his uncertainty about the timing of the selection, questioning why Robinson was not included earlier, during the Ashes. The reports describe Broad’s stance as a reaction to the change in England’s bowling options for the opening Test, rather than a direct dispute over Robinson’s abilities. Both outlets report Broad’s view that the decision to bring Robinson back for the first Test is unexpected. Taken together, the coverage centers on the lead-in to England’s Test series opener, the likely role Robinson will have in the new-ball attack, and Broad’s surprise at how quickly Robinson returns to the England Test team.
