In the first match, he scored 42 runs with the bowling and batting. But, unexpectedly, despite his performance, he became a major headline in the newspaper due to his controversial tweet.
However, the ECB is investigating and suspending Robinson from international cricket in order to create a sense of confidence in the national team.
Say no to Rasicm
Robinson apologized last Thursday as his controversial tweet went viral on social media. I now regret his old tweet as an adult. Robinson will return to the Sussex County Championship after leaving England.
“Today is the biggest day of my career. I am embarrassed by the controversial tweet that was made eight years ago. It is public today (Wednesday). I had no intelligence and was not so mentally mature now.
Speaking after the match, Robinson’s remark was based on the performance of England captain Joe Root and the ground. But, his work outside the field was not really acceptable.
“He (Robinson) has excelled in bowling and has contributed to the team in batting.
Joe Root said, “But the process of going out on the field is not acceptable in our game. We all know it.
