England's Robinson Ruled Out of Second Test Against New Zealand with Knee Injury

England's fast bowler Ollie Robinson has been ruled out of the second test match against New Zealand after suffering a sore right knee. The setback comes shortly after Robinson's stellar performance in the first test, where he was named player of the match. His seven wickets, including five in the first innings, were instrumental in England's 115-run victory on a challenging Lord's wicket. Robinson experienced knee soreness following a training session on Friday and underwent a scan the next day. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed the injury on Monday. Uncapped bowler Henry Crocombe has been called up to provide cover. The ECB stated that Robinson will remain with the squad and focus on rehabilitation ahead of the third test. The second match of the three-test series is scheduled to begin at The Oval on Wednesday. England is already contending with the absence of regular captain Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson, who were omitted from the second test squad pending an investigation into an incident at a London nightclub. The third test is set to commence on June 25.
