June 13 : Ollie Robinson, whose player-of-the-match performance guided England to victory in the first test against New Zealand, is a doubt for the second match due to a knee injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Saturday.

The national body called up uncapped seamer Henry Crocombe as the 32-year-old’s cover, in case he is unable to play the second test, which begins at The Oval on Wednesday.

“Robinson experienced knee soreness after a training session on Friday and is set to undergo a precautionary scan on Saturday,” the ECB said in a statement.

Robinson, playing his first test in over two years, took seven wickets including five in the first innings as England won by 115 runs on a difficult wicket at Lord’s.

England will also be without regular captain Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson, who have been left out of the second of the three-test series following an investigation into an incident in a London nightclub.

Jofra Archer and Jordan Cox have replaced the two in the squad.
