ENG vs IND: I had doubts I would ever play for England again, says Ollie Robinson

India TV News  

Seamer Ollie Robinson, who grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul in his comeback Test against India after being suspended for offensive old racist tweets, termed the phase "toughest in his life as he had doubts" about his England future. "There was a time when I was speaking with my lawyers and we were looking at the fact I could be banned for a couple of years and never play for England again," Robinson said at the end of the day's play. He said he's a "different man" now from the person who wrote those as a "young, naive guy". "I was a young 18-year-old naive guy and I made a lot of mistakes, not just those tweets," he said.
