Ollie Robinson wants to 'knock the door down' in hopes of England Test recall

The seamer made the last of his 20 Test appearances against India in February 2024 before being axed from the side and never to be seen again, even though he has a good record of 76 wickets at 22.92.

There have been doubts about Robinson's fitness and his ability to sustain pace at the highest level under head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.

Speaking a pre-season media day with Sussex, Robinson said: "I have to take wickets. That is the only way to get back in. If I can take 50 or 60 wickets, then who knows?

"That is the objective for me, along with winning games and trophies. Coaches and selectors like match-winners, people who do something when the game is flat."

Asked if he previously felt the international door was closed on him, the 32-year-old said: "Yes, probably. But I've not done myself any favours either.

"I've not been consistent enough, had a few niggles, not taken the wickets I did first time round.

"I can blame the England set-up but it's on me to knock the door down. If you do that, they will select you."
