Ollie Robinson OUT – WI vs ENG LIVE: Robinson hurt his back while bowling in England’s warm-up match against a Cricket West Indies President’s XI last week and has failed to recover in time.

Robinson picked up 11 wickets at an average of 25.54 during the recent Ashes series against Australia and Woakes knows his absence will be felt.

“Ollie is a talented bowler. Naturally he’ll be a big miss,” Woakes said.

With veteran quicks James Anderson and Stuart Broad left out of the touring party completely, it leaves England suddenly short on quality seamers for the series opener

“He’s shown in his short Test career so far that he’s certainly got the skills and the ability to do good things in the format. At the same time, it gives people opportunities.

“We’re trying to win games of cricket here, but it does give that chance to someone to potentially make their Test debut who’s been waiting in the wings for quite a while to show what they can do at this level.”
