After Ollie Robinson, another English player in the radar for discriminatory posts
Ollie Robinson was found guilty to have posted discriminatory racial posts in the past and was suspended indefinitely by ECB. However, following recent investigations, another Englishman has been found to have done the same.
FollowEnglish cricket is now rocked with controversy following the emergence of Ollie Robinson's historic racial tweets. Although he did it in the past, the England and Wales Cricket Board is not taking it lightly.
Meanwhile, reports have emerged that another Englishman has been found guilty of doing the same in the past. According to a report by Wisden, a current English player from the senior squad had posted disparaging jargon against the Chinese people, besides using another for homosexuality. However, since the player was aged just 16 at the time, the publication has chosen not to name him.
However, since ECB CEO Tom Harrison has promised a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, it seems like some action would be taken against him. While ECB would add this to the ongoing investigation against Robinson, their age back then might lead to some alleviation.

"It has been brought to our attention that an England player has posted historic offensive material on their social media account. We are looking into it and will make a further comment in due course," said an ECB spokesperson, reports ESPNCricinfo.
As for Robinson, he made his international debut last week during the opening Test against New Zealand, where he was a star performer in all departments. However, the news soon emerged of his historic racial posts. Although Robinson apologised for his past deeds, he was indefinitely suspended by the ECB, with further investigations pending.
