ENG vs NZ: After England debut, Oliie Robinson says sorry for abusive tweets
India TV NewsFor Ollie Robinson, the day should have been all about the joy of taking two wickets on his test debut for England at Lord's. "Today should be about my efforts on the field and the pride of making my test debut for England, but my thoughtless behavior in the past has tarnished this," Robinson said. Robinson said he will “continue to educate myself, look for advice and work with the support network that is available to me to learn more about getting better in this area.” Tom Harrison, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, said he did “not have the words to express how disappointed I am that an England men’s player has chosen to write tweets of this nature.” "Any person reading those words, particularly a woman or person of color, would take away an image of cricket and cricketers that is completely unacceptable," Harrison said. “We are better than this.” England's players began the day by sharing a so-called “moment of unity” with their New Zealand counterparts, wearing T-shirts designed to show a collective stance against discrimination of all kinds. “I don't want something that happened eight years ago diminish the efforts of my teammates and the ECB as they continue to build meaningful action with their comprehensive initiatives and efforts, which I fully endorse and support," Robinson said.
