England vs NZ Tests: Now UK PM Boris Johnson weighs in on Ollie Robinson suspension, says THIS

Fast bowler Ollie Robinson was on Sunday (June 6) suspended from international cricket pending an investigation into his tweets he posted as a teenager years ago.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesperson on Monday (June 7) said the PM is ‘supportive’ of the culture secretary’s view that England and Wales Cricket Board should reconsider the suspension of pacer Ollie Robinson for posting racist and sexist tweets back in 2012. Oliver Dowden, the UK government’s secretary for culture, sports, digital and media, said the ECB has gone ‘over the top’ in its punishment of Robinson. Fast bowler Robinson was on Sunday (June 6) suspended from international cricket pending an investigation into his tweets he posted as a teenager years ago. “Ollie Robinson’s tweets were offensive and wrong,” Dowden wrote on Twitter. “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.”
