Ollie Robinson who made his debut for England vs New Zealand in the 1st Test in Lord's was handed a suspension by their cricket board. ECB has launched a full-fledged investigation into a series of social media posts which were made in 2012-13 by Robinson and were of sexist and racist nature. The Sussex all-rounder after the end of Day 1 of the Test match apologised for his behaviour and explained that he was going through a difficult time back when he posted those tweets. After an impressive debut Test where he took 7 wickets and scored a crucial 42, Robinson will miss the 2nd Test vs New Zealand.
