Jacobi Robinson has vowed to make the most of his recall to the senior national cricket team.The 28-year-old Somerset all-rounder claims he’s hungrier and more mature as a cricketer and is determined to prove that he deserves to be a part of the senior national set-up after failing to live up to expectations during a previous stint at that level.“I played at the national level before but I wasn’t mature enough then to get the best out of myself,” said Robinson, last year’s Logic First Division MVP. “I didn’t really commit myself one hundred percent but now I’m older and matured a bit more.“I now feel I have the hunger and want to play and see Bermuda do well, so as long as I have those three things underneath my belt I should be all right. Before I was lacking the hunger, fight and commitment to want to be there but now I want to be there.“They (selectors) have given me a chance so I’ve left whatever happened in the past behind and now looking forward to helping Bermuda get to the next level.”Robinson was excluded from an initial training squad of 43 players announced by Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) last September ahead of the upcoming ICC Americas Division One T20 and World Cricket League (WCL) Division Three tournaments. But he was later invited by interim national coach Arnold Manders to rejoin the senior national programme after being left out in the cold for several years.Since rejoining the squad, the former Somerset Cup Match skipper has demonstrated a new found commitment to training and self-discipline.“I’ve put in a lot of hard work losing weight which is still a work in progress,” said Robinson, who has shed more than 20 pounds since last November. “I’ve been putting in a lot of extra work with Irving (trainer Irving Romaine) as many as five times per week.”The player has also been working on his batting and bowling twice weekly with coach Manders and assistant Clevie Wade.Robinson has been named in Bermuda’s 13-man squad that embarked on a seven-day tour of Barbados yesterday where they will play a series of 50 over and T20 matches.The all rounder’s presence should add more clout to Bermuda’s lower order while his offbreak spin could prove vital on tour.On the eve of the team’s departure Robinson received valuable pointers from spin bowling specialist coach Chris Brown during a three-day mini-training camp at Sea Breeze Oval.“Chris definitely brings a level of professionalism in training,” he said. “Chris and Andy Pick (ICC Americas High Performance Officer) showed me a lot of different things which has been very good.“I have been working on things like varying my pace and different angles, field setting and stuff like that for the way that I bowl. I’ve been bowling a little quicker so the field setting would be different to a guy like Rodney Trott who bowls slower. I’m just trying to get the fundamentals right and work it towards this tournament in April (WCL Division Three).”Robinson is the son of former Western Stars and Somerset Cup Match left- arm spinner Wayne (Spike) Richardson who has always encouraged the former to follow in his footsteps and bowl spin.“My daddy has always put a lot of pressure on me to spin,” Robinson said. “He always used to tell me I should be bowling spin and not pace, but that’s what I chose to do.“But now I’m bowling spin and it’s working out for me for the better. I bowled spin growing up so it’s not really a big transition for me and is more natural than anything.”
