After England pacer Ollie Robinson, another England player has come under the scanner for his allegedly racist comments on Twitter as a teenager and he will be investigated by the board as well. While the old tweets of the player were unearthed by wisden.com, the identity of the cricketer wasn’t revealed as well as he made that tweet when he was not even 16.

Notably, the website shared the tweets without mentioning the player’s identity. “…….your going out with a asian,” the player allegedly tweeted.

However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is currently investigating the matter. “It has been brought to our attention that an England player has posted historic offensive material on their social media account. We are looking into it and will make a further comment in due course,” an ECB spokesperson was quoted as saying by wisden.com.

Meanwhile, the posts came into the limelight hours after the ECB has suspended Ollie Robinson for his racist tweets in 2012 and 2013 while the investigation is going on. Robinson, who scored 42 runs and took seven wickets on his debut match against New Zealand in the longer format, has already apologised for his behaviour after his old tweets went viral.

On the other hand, England’s culture secretary Oliver Dowden has criticised the ECB’s decision to suspend Robinson, calling it “over the top” too. Even, the Prime Minister of the country, Boris Johnson has also agreed with him that the punishment was a bit harsh. Dowden stated that Robinson’s tweets were a decade old, “written by a teenager” but he has agreed that they were offensive and wrong as well.
