Robinson suspended from international cricket: All you need to know
Robinson suspended from international cricket, will miss Edgbaston Test

England fast bowler Ollie Robinson has been suspended from international cricket after his controversial tweets from 2012 and 2013 were highlighted recently. The tweets were discovered on the first day of Robinson's Test debut at Lord's, while he was en route to his maiden four-wicket haul. As a result, Robinson will remain unavailable for selection for the upcoming match against New Zealand.

Information
Robinson set to miss the second Test against New Zealand

The suspension means Robinson will miss the second Test against New Zealand, starting Thursday at Edgbaston. Announcing his suspension, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that Robinson will leave the England camp immediately and return to his county, Sussex.

Statement
An ECB statement confirmed the development

ECB's chief executive, Tom Harrison, had earlier confirmed that a disciplinary process and full investigation would be initiated. "England and Sussex bowler Ollie Robinson has been suspended from international cricket pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation following historic tweets he posted in 2012 and 2013. Robinson will leave the England camp immediately," an ECB statement at the conclusion of the first Test read.

Participation
Robinson is allowed to play for Sussex during the investigation

It is understood that Robinson is allowed to play for Sussex during the investigation. The nature of his punishment is yet to be ascertained. Robinson is expected to be fined or suspended for a certain number of matches. Robinson, who is not a part of England's white-ball set-up, will likely feature in the five-Test series against India in August.

Tweets
Robinson's tweets resurfaced as he made his Test debut

The tweets of Robinson, which are deemed "racist" and "sexist" in nature, resurfaced on the day of his Test debut. Notably, he and his English team-mates sported black 'anti-discrimination' jerseys before the start of the Test at Lord's. Robinson has also been involved in several controversies in past. He even had his Yorkshire contract terminated in 2014 due to a "number of unprofessional actions".

Incident
The ECB has stood against racism

The incident came to light at a time when the ECB is trying to make the game more accessible to people of all backgrounds. Notably, several former England cricketers recently opened up on the discrimination they faced during their careers. Moreover, the ECB, like a number of other boards, has also stood against racism in recent times.

Comments
'His actions were unacceptable', said Joe Root after the match

Speaking after the drawn first Test, England captain Joe Root, besides praising Robinson, said that his historical actions were unacceptable. "It's not acceptable within our game. We all know that. He addressed the dressing room straight away. He obviously spoke to you guys and other media outlets straight away, fronted up to it. He showed a lot of remorse," said Root.

Robinson scalped seven wickets in his first Test

Right-arm seamer Robinson was impressive on his Test debut. He was the pick of England's bowlers in the first innings, having registered figures of 4/75. The 27-year-old shone in the second innings too, taking three scalps. He had earned his maiden Test call-up after performing well in domestic cricket. The tall seamer had scalped 279 wickets before the start of Lord's Test.
