England’s pacer Ollie Robinson has revealed that he is practicing Indian pacer Mohammed Shami’s dead-straight seam position in the upcoming IND vs ENG five-match Test series.
“I’ve actually been practising Mohammed Shami’s dead-straight seam,” Robinson told ESPNCricinfo in an interview.
“He’s one of the best bowlers for India. I was looking at Ishant as well – he played at Sussex for a bit and he’s done really well in India for quite a while. He’s tall, similar to me,” Robinson added.
Robinson, who will be playing his first Test match since July 2023, admitted that he has to fight for his place in the XI in a spin-friendly conditions.

“You feel like you don’t know what you’re preparing for, which is a challenge I’ve not really had yet,” Robinson said.
“On this tour, it’ll be about being adaptable; look at the pitch a day or two before and assess how it’ll play, or try to get clues from the nets on the square. It’ll be a different challenge but one that I’m looking forward to because it’ll engage my cricket-nuffy brain,” the pacer added.
