Ollie Robinson to return to cricket pitch with Sussex second team

England fast bowler Ollie Robinson will return to the field with Sussex's second XI in two T20 games against Hampshire on Tuesday. Earlier, Ollie Robinson stated that he wanted to take a break in order to spend time with his family. Due to this, he had missed Sussex's Vitality Blast games against Gloucestershire and Hampshire Hawks on Friday and Saturday, respectively. The 27-year-old was to be included in the match at Essex on Tuesday. However, he has instead been selected in the second XI squad for the behind-closed-doors games at Hove. The pacer is soon likely to return to action in the second team's behind-closed-doors T20 matches against Hampshire on Tuesday.

English fast bowler Ollie Robinson was suspended from all forms of international cricket for the racist and sexist tweets he posted as a teenager. Robinson had also apologized for his thoughtless and irresponsible tweets. Despite his apology, the England Cricket Board has gone ahead with his suspension from the highest level, showcasing its no-nonsense approach or strictness regarding the English cricketers' behavior, both on and off the field. Ollie Robinson made his test debut in the first match of the series at Lord's. 

Ollie Robinson picked up seven wickets and also scored 42 runs

England seamer Ollie Robinson has made a great start to his Test career. He picked up four wickets in the first innings against the Kiwis at the Lord's Cricket Ground. However, despite his brilliant performance, the player was dropped from the second match for a non-sporting reason. He picked up seven wickets in New Zealand's two innings and also scored 42 runs in England's first innings. After the incident, the English Cricket Board is reportedly looking to hire an external company to check the new players' social media accounts to avoid such issues in the future. Educational program on the ongoing problem is also on the board's agenda.

Meanwhile, New Zealand won the series against England. The visitors won the second match of the series by eight wickets. The win against England gave New Zealand just a third win in 18 Test series in England. This was also their first win against the English side this century after their 1986 and 1999 triumphs. On the contrary, this was England's first series loss at the home ground since 2014. In 2104, Sri Lanka had defeated them.
