ECB to take ‘appropriate action’ after England players' historical offensive tweets emerge

The England and Wales Cricket Board has vowed to take "relevant and appropriate action" after questions were raised publicly about historical tweets from several England players.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed it is currently investigating "a number of historical social media posts by other individuals" in the England set-up. Ollie Robinson was suspended right after the end of his Test debut - the first Test of a 2-match series between England and New Zealand pending the results of a disciplinary investigation into his posts. The ECB is also investigating a second England cricketer for historical "offensive" social media posts, cricket website Wisden.com reported on Monday.
