Times View Racism of any form, including innuendos, needs to be discouraged. Having taken stringent measures against Ollie Robinson, it remains to be seen how the ECB reacts to these posts from the two-star cricketers. The ghosts of forgotten social media indiscretions returned to haunt England cricket with white-ball captain Eoin Morgan and senior player Jos Buttler facing investigation for “historical tweets” allegedly mocking Indians.
Both cricketers are big Indian Premier League (IPL) draws, with Morgan also captaining the Kolkata Knight Riders. Buttler, the current England vice-captain, plays for Rajasthan Royals. The posts date back to 2017 and 2018.
The unsavoury development comes in the immediate wake of the England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) controversial decision to suspend another England cricketer, Ollie Robinson, from international cricket for racist tweets dating back to 2012 and 2013. The suspension cleaved public opinion and stirred a nationwide debate, with British PM Boris Johnson and culture secretary Oliver Dowden terming it “over the top”.
