A day after England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) suspended tempo bowler Ollie Robinson for eight-year-old racist and sexist tweets, another present England player may discover himself in bother after an previous, racist tweet of his was dropped at mild by media.
The identify of the player has been withheld by wisden.com which uncovered the tweet.
The player was 16 when he wrote, “your going out with an Asian. -_- < #asianthroughandthrough #hweolloo #chinky.”
An ECB spokesperson mentioned, “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 further comment in due course.”
“The big thing for us all is education. We are all striving to be better, none of us are perfect, and we all need to make sure we are learning all the time,” mentioned Silverwood.
“We can make sure the world is a better place. Most importantly, we can work hard to ensure that this great game is inclusive for everybody and there is no form of discrimination whatsoever.”
The England crew did a ‘Moment of Unity’ gesture forward of the primary Test towards New Zealand at Lord’s final week after they have been criticised for not taking the knee final 12 months.
