LONDON —
England’s Ollie Robinson has tested
positive for the coronavirus as the Sussex pace bowler’s bid to shake off his
fitness issues suffered a fresh blow.

Robinson was plagued by back problems during
England’s winter tours of
Australia and the West Indies.
After a disrupted start to the county season, with a
dental problem followed by a stomach upset, he was withdrawn from a County
Select XI to face New Zealand last week because of back stiffness.
The 28-year-old is unable to be assessed until his
isolation period ends following a positive COVID-19 test last Thursday.
Robinson’s fitness issues meant he was left out of
England’s squad for the first two Tests against
New Zealand, with the series
opener taking place at Lord’s this week.
He had made a promising
start to his England career with 39 wickets at an average of 21.28 in nine
Tests.
