Daily Mail  

England stars Jimmy Anderson, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler were dragged into English cricket's social media storm on Tuesday as further unsavoury historic tweets went viral. An unsavoury historic tweet from England fast-bowler Jimmy Anderson emerged on Tuesday, forcing the current cricketer to come out and condemn them Other now-deleted posts from England World Cup-winning stars Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler also went viral Anderson, 38, tweeting about team-mate Stuart Broad in February 2010, wrote: 'I saw Broady's new haircut for the first time today. The news comes after England player Ollie Robinson was suspended from all international cricket after his debut Test for abusive tweets from a decade ago Robinson's tweets emerged after day one of the first Test against New Zealand last week Such restrictions do not apply to Sussex, however, meaning he could feature in the Twenty20 Blast this week. Robinson apologised privately to his team-mates and publicly after the tweets emerged Within 48 hours of Robinson undermining their public commitment to tackling various forms of discrimination - the England players donned T shirts with inclusivity and diversity messages on before a ball was bowled in the first international match of the summer at Lord's - the ECB were forced to deny claims of institutional racism by former umpires John Holder and Ismail Dawood.
