Middlesex opener Sam Robson delighted to receive "special" England call-up

Middlesex opener Sam Robson has admitted that his first call-up to the England Test squad took some time to sink in.

The 24-year-old has been named in Peter Moores's 12-man squad to face Sri Lanka in their opening Test at Lord's on June 12.

"It took a little while to sink in," Robson told BBC Radio 5 live. "A special moment that I won't be forgetting.

"I was born and grew up in Australia until I left school but I've lived here for almost seven years now and this is my home and where my life has taken me. I love living here."

During the county season, Robson has hit a century and three fifties.
