BBC News2 days ago
Sussex bowler Ollie Robinson has been ruled out with a groin injury for the next month.The 31-year-old missed his side's County Championship defeat to Essex and head coach Paul Farbrace revealed he had had an injection in his groin and would be out until the "tail end" of the One-Day Cup in August.When asked what the likelihood was of Robinson being fit for Sussex's trip to Scarborough to face Yorkshire in Division One on 29 July, Farbrace replied "none at all"."He won't be available now until the back end of the 50-over comp," Fabrace told BBC Radio Sussex. "He had an injection in his groin on Wednesday. He's got a period of time now where he's got to get himself fitter and stronger and be ready for the [County] Championship run-in."
"He's out of playing now for probably a month and then we'll look to bring him in towards the back end of the 50-over comp, maybe bring him in for three of the last four games and then get him ready for the final Championship games."Former England pace bowler Robinson has taken 24 wickets in seven red ball matches for Sussex this season at an average of 29.87.The club are currently fifth in the table with 125 points after 10 games following their promotion back to the top tier last year and Farbrace said Robinson's absence as a blow."We need him fully fit and available to help us. We've seen in this game that we could have done with his bowling but he wasn't available and we need him fit and strong to help us," Farbrace said."Equally it's an opportunity for other people. We've won two of our three games without him in the Championship this year. It's a shame when you haven't got people available."
