The England Cricket Board (ECB) is investigating the social media accounts of its players after Ally Robinson was suspended from international cricket for allegedly profaning pornography and racism. During the investigation, if any offending posts are found on any player’s account, he can also be banned. Most notably, Robinson made an obscene tweet about women nearly 8 years ago, for which he even apologized for his debut. But, despite this, the ECB banned him until the investigation was over.

The ECB board meeting was held on Wednesday. “The Board made it clear that this procedure will not protect us from further disciplinary action in the future, but expressed hope that the game may emerge strong from this difficult time,” the ECB said in a statement.
