'Haven't Come Across Fleming, But Heard Good Things About Him': Robinson
Wales Cricket Board: Fast bowler Ollie Robinson said he has heard good things about incoming head coach Stephen Fleming and is looking forward to an exciting new era for England's Test side following a turbulent time that saw skipper Ben Stokes retire from international cricket and Brendon McCullum get sacked from his coaching role. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Thursday that Fleming, the former New Zealand captain who recently left as five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach, would take the Test coach role after parting ways with McCullum in the wake of England's 2-1 series defeat to New Zealand. Its always a novelty getting someone new in. I havent come across Stephen Fleming but Ive heard good things. So that will be interesting to see how he wants to play another Kiwi. Well see how we go. Its exciting. Whenever you get a change, its always exciting just to see how its going to be, how the groups going to go. Its about winning games of cricket at the end of the day. I think we maybe went away from that too much but playing with Baz and Ben was so fun and enjoyable. Its a shame thats finished but Im excited someone new is coming in, Robinson was quoted as saying by The i Paper. Robinson, who is aiming to return for Englands upcoming Test series against Pakistan starting on August 19, admitted that the sudden departures of Stokes left the dressing room stunned. I think we were all a bit shocked really when he did retire. I was gutted because I loved playing under him and with him. And now Baz (has gone). Obviously, hes said he didnt get the results he wanted but those two at the top were great to play under. Its a shame but I think it happens, doesnt it, in English cricket? My first Ashes was Chris Silverwoods last (as coach in 2021-22). You just have those cycles where you get a change and you go again. Robinson, who made a sensational comeback at Lords in June with a seven-wicket haul before missing the next two Tests due to knee soreness, has been working closely with Englands medical team and director of cricket Rob Key to rebuild his fitness ahead of the Pakistan series. At the start of the season I wasnt expecting to get back into the England squad. I knew I had a bit of work to do to get back to where I wanted to be, so I took a little four-week block to work on body fitness and get a bit stronger. There was a lot more running, bike sessions. Ive been working closely with England on that. Theyve set a programme for me and a schedule to follow. Its been good. Ive had some good communication with Rob Key the last few weeks. Ive just got to get myself in the best physical condition I can to be ready for Pakistan and hopefully I get picked. Lords was an incredible game. It was the perfect pitch to return on to be honest. I think luck was in my favour a little bit there but it was great to be back and although theres a bit going on behind the scenes its just about getting myself as right as possible and ready for selection if it comes. With interim coach Marcus Trescothick taking charge for the Pakistan series before Fleming officially assumes his role, Robinson warned against using the off-field transition as an excuse. I think we have to be ruthless, we have to go and try and win it 3-0 from the get-go. We cant glide into this series because theres been change and just expect to win. We have to put our foot down and use this series to show how we want to win games of cricket moving forward. I think winning 3-0 would be the best answer to that. With interim coach Marcus Trescothick taking charge for the Pakistan series before Fleming officially assumes his role, Robinson warned against using the off-field transition as an excuse.
