Ollie Robinson is targeting further success in the second act of his Test career after being awarded the Bob Willis Trophy for England cricketer of the year.
The seamer spent two-and-a-half years out of favour with the selectors before staging an impressive return this summer, taking 28 wickets at an average of just 9.32 against New Zealand and Pakistan.
The 32-year-old is set for a key role in this winter’s red-ball programme, which includes tours to South Africa, Bangladesh and the 150th anniversary Test in Melbourne, before turning his attention to next summer’s home Ashes series.
Despite making only four appearances this year - one against New Zealand followed by three against Pakistan - the weight of Robinson’s performance saw him recognised by members at the Vitality Cricket Media Club Awards at Lord’s, taking the trophy named after former England captain and fellow pace bowler Willis.
