Former India and Lancashire wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer strongly feels that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is right to punish the seamer Ollie Robinson for his old racist and sexist tweets. Engineer, a Lancashire legend, is also surprised that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and sports minister Oliver Dowden had criticised the ECB on suspension of Robinson for-decade-old tweets. In an interview with the Indian Express, Engineer said: "I am reading in the papers about Boris Johnson. I think it is absolute rubbish for a prime minister to lend his name to such a statement. Punish the fellow (Robinson). I think the ECB has done absolutely the right thing by suspending him. He has committed an error of judgment; he should pay for it. It will be a deterrent.”
