ECB went ‘over the top’ by suspending Robinson, says UK minister

(Reuters) - The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) went “over the top” by suspending fast bowler Ollie Robinson from all internatio­nal cricket for racist and sexist comments he made on Twitter in the past, UK culture minister Oliver Dowden said yesterday.

Robinson apologised “unreserved­ly” for Twitter posts he made from 2012-2013 that went viral on social media last week when he made his test debut against New Zealand at Lord’s.

The ECB on Sunday suspended the 27-year-old pending the outcome of a disciplina­ry investigat­ion into the incident.

“Ollie Robinson’s tweets were offensive and wrong,” Dowden tweeted.

“They are also a decade old and written by a teenager. The teenager is now a man and has rightly apologised.

“The ECB has gone over the top by suspending him and should think again.”

England captain Joe Root said after the first drawn test against New Zealand that Robinson had some lessons to learn.

“It’s not acceptable within our game - we all know that,” Root said. “He has dealt with a huge array of emotions over this last week and he has got to learn some hard lessons.
