“He will not be available for selection for the LV= Insurance second Test against New Zealand starting at Edgbaston on Thursday 10 June. “Robinson will leave the England camp immediately and return to his county,” it added. The paceman led England’s attack with 4-75 in the first innings at Lord’s and followed up with 3-26 in the second while in between making a useful 42 with the bat. But he found himself making an unreserved apology after stumps on Wednesday, his first day in Test cricket, for tweets that included comments suggesting Muslim people were linked to terrorism, and derogatory remarks about women and people of Asian heritage. His messages re-emerged after both teams lined up before play on Wednesday for a ‘Moment of Unity’ designed to show their opposition to discrimination, with England wearing T-shirts stating ‘Cricket is a game for everyone’. Robinson, in a statement issued after play on Wednesday, said he was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” by the posts. “I want to make it clear that I’m not racist and I’m not sexist,” he added. England captain Joe Root speaking after stumps on Sunday but before Robinson’s suspension had been announced, said of the tweets: “I couldn’t believe them, personally.” Root, however, added Robinson had shown a “lot of remorse” that was “very genuine”.
