Overview
- Robinson was named England cricketer of the year at the Vitality Cricket Media Club Awards at Lord’s on Tuesday after members awarded him the Bob Willis Trophy.
- He took 28 wickets at an average of 9.32 in four Tests this year, with those matches played against New Zealand and Pakistan.
- Robinson returned to the Test side after about two-and-a-half years out of favour with selectors and described the award as a "huge honour" following his comeback.
- Selectors have pencilled Robinson in for a leading role in England’s red-ball programme, which includes tours to South Africa, Bangladesh, and the 150th anniversary Test in Melbourne.
- The ceremony also recognised emerging and domestic talent, with awards for Naavya Sharma, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Kirstie Gordon, Angus Brown and county leader Ethan Bamber, underlining the pathway into England squads.
