Robinson, 23, played four T20 games for Kent in their title-winning 2021 season and made 103 runs with a strike rate of 139.18 across his four innings but was deemed surplus to requirement for the start of their Blast season, following Sam Billings' return from the IPL.

He is available for Durham in their first T20 fixture on Thursday, against Leicestershire at Grace Road but will return to Kent for their two Championship games during the Blast's group stages and can be recalled at any time.

"Following a few injuries and England selection affecting our squad, we are excited to have Ollie for our Vitality Blast campaign," Marcus North, Durham's director of cricket, said. "He is an exciting young talent who will offer us multiple skill options."

"Ollie is a really talented young player and both he and Kent will benefit from 'Robbo' experiencing increased playing time during the Vitality Blast," Paul Downton, Kent's director of cricket, added. "We wish him well at Durham and look forward to welcoming him back into the squad for our next Championship fixture."
