England seamer Ollie Robinson has opened up about the historic racist and sexist tweets which emerged during his Test debut last summer.
Robinson debuted against New Zealand at Lord's and impressed, picking up nine wickets in the match. However, old tweets which resurfaced during day one of the match overshadowed his debut, with Robinson reading out a pre-prepared apology after play.
He was later fined £3,200 and handed an eight-match suspension, five of which were suspended for two years, by the Cricket Discipline Committee. The tweets were posted between 2012 and 2014, when Robinson was aged between 18 and 20, and were described as "racist, sexist, disablist, Islamophobic and offensive" by the committee.
