England pacer Ollie Robinson suspended by ECB after controversial old tweets resurface

England fast bowler Ollie Robinson was suspended from international cricket on Sunday pending an investigation into discriminatory tweets he posted from 2012-13. Robinson will not be available for the second test against New Zealand starting Thursday.

On Sunday, the England and Cricket Boad (ECB) suspended seamer Ollie Robinson from ‘all international cricket’ after historical racist and sexist tweets came to light earlier this week when he made his test debut against New Zealand. Robinson will not be available for the second test against New Zealand starting Thursday, the England and Wales Cricket Board said. Robinson made his test debut in the first match of the series at Lord’s, taking seven wickets in New Zealand’s two innings and also hitting 42 in England’s first innings.
