  1. Michael Holding Opens Up About The Suspension of Ollie Robinson England cricketer Ollie Robinson has been in the news for his suspension over his racist tweets as a teenager. While many have shared their views on this matter, former West Indies player Michael Holding has joined the list too. Image source by twitter He has supported the suspension but believes that he should get a second chance if investigation proves that he did not repeat that beyond that time. Notably, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has suspended him after his sexist tweets in 2012 and 2013 emerged on social media on the day he made his debut in the longer format as well. “(It was) eight, nine years ago. Can the ECB then find out please, if beyond that time, Robinson has kept on behaving like that, saying things like that, tweeting things like that?”Holding told Sky Sports News.“If he has done something like that nine years ago, and since then he has learnt and he has done nothing like that and he has changed his ways in recent years, then I don’t think you should come down too hard on him.”

  2. Image source by twitter The veteran, who has been quitevocal against racism since the death of African American Geroge Floyd, has said that suspending Ollie Robinson was the right call by the board as well. However, many though it was a bit harsh, including the British government as the country’s culture and sports secretary Oliver Dowden has asked the ECB to reconsider the suspension as well. However, apart from him, the ECB have been investigating another England cricketer for racist tweets what he did in his teen years. And, as per Holding, it should be investigated if he has repeated the wrong doing again as well. However, England are currently playing against New Zealand in a two-match Test series. They will take on India after the inaugural ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand in Southampton from June 18.
