Seamer Ollie Robinson wants to push for England honours after signing a three-year extension at Sussex.

Robinson flies out to Sydney tomorrow to join up with the England Lions for the red-ball leg of their tour of Australia.

The 26-year-old has become a key player at Hove, taking 229 wickets at an average of 22.37 since his first-class debut in 2015.

He impressed in the Vitality Blast, saw his County Championship form rewarded with the Lions call-up and was named Sussex’s player of the season for a second consecutive year.

Robinson made nine appearances and took 11 wickets in the Blast last season including a career-best 4-15 against Middlesex.

He hopes to star for the Sharks again in 2020 but is also setting his goals higher.

Robinson said: “I know we’ve got a strong line-up in T20 but I think as a cricketer, it’s always your goal to play in every game and every format. It’s something I’m aiming for moving forward.

“I also want to push for England honours. I’m going away with the Lions on Friday and that will be great.

“I’m just going to push as hard as I can and, hopefully, I can put my stamp on that in Australia and push for higher honours.”
