England cricket racism row: Morgan & Buttler under scanner too after old tweets mocking fans resurface
Xtra Time Web Desk: Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding Ollie Robinson’s suspension by ECB, old tweets from England's white ball captain Eoin Morgan and wicket-keeper Jos Buttler have also come under scanner. The tweets seemed to have been written in a way which mocks the English language used by fans. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are investigating into the matter.
In one of those tweets both the Kolkata Knight Riders Captain and Coach Brendon McCullum was part of the conversation. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has made it clear they have a zero-tolerance policy for any sort of discrimination.
Robinson was on Sunday suspended from all international cricket pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation following the tweets he posted in 2012 and 2013. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Sports Minister Olivier Dowden criticized ECB for acting so strictly for a offence which was made by Robinson during his teenage days.
One more cricketer from the England team has come under the scanner for his allegedly racist remarks on Twitter. As per reports the said cricketer was aged less than 16 at the time he posted the tweets.
