Robinson spent more than two years in England exile as he faced questions about his fitness and attitude.<\/p>\n
But he was recalled as part of England\u2019s rebuild following a 4-1 Ashes series in Australia.<\/p>\n
He responded in style with his Test-best match figures of 7-77, including a first-innings triple-wicket maiden, as England went 1-0 up in a three-match series.<\/p>\n

There was a time where I never thought I\u2019d be back on a pitch with England, so to get that win for the team is such a special feeling. Walking off with the lads, with a win under our belts in the first game of the summer, it\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Ollie Robinson on…<\/p>\n – Winning POTM And so much more! \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n \u2014 England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n – \u2018Outstanding\u2019 –<\/b><\/p>\n England skipper Ben Stokes was delighted by player-of-the-match Robinson\u2019s contribution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pleasing thing for me, as a captain and a leader in the group, is the way that he\u2019s spoken this week,\u201d Stokes said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would have been very easy to rest on your laurels when everything\u2019s gone so well for him, but I like the language he\u2019s used around it being just a start and there being a lot more hard work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe more Ollie Robinson has an England shirt on his back, the better it is for us, because he\u2019s an outstanding bowler and he showed that this week.\u201d<\/p>\n Published on Jun 07, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
