Ollie Robinson takes break from all cricket

LONDON: England pace bowler Ollie Robinson, who was suspended from international cricket following resurfacing of his old racist and sexist tweets, has taken a short break from cricket and will not be available for the first two T20 Blast fixtures for Sussex. Though he was suspended by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) from international cricket after his Test debut at Lord's against New Zealand last week, he can still play for his county side Sussex.

The county, however, said in a statement that the pace bowler has taken a break. "After a difficult week, Ollie has decided to take a short break from the game to spend time with his young family. Player and staff welfare — including mental health and wellbeing — is a priority for the club and, as such, Sussex Cricket fully supports Ollie in his decision," said the club in a statement. IANS
