As a group, we thank Ollie Robinson for being a different person now: James Anderson

In an interaction with Sky Sports, Anderson recently stated that Robinson has the support of the entire England team because he is really sorry for his actions. Anderson said: “He stood in front of the crowd and apologized. You can see how sincere and frustrated he is. I think as a group, we are grateful that he is a different person now. Since then, he has experienced a lot of maturity and growth. He has the full support of the team.”

The 38-year-old admitted that the controversy had an impact on the team, but added that this is something everyone can learn. The pacemaker further added, “Well, yes, I think this is a…you know this is a difficult time. I think as players, we really try to learn from it.

“We realize that it’s important to try to get an education around these issues, and we will continue to work with the European Central Bank and PCA (Professional Cricket Athletes Association). We have held seminars before this series to try to help improve ourselves as people Basically to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen,” he continued to add.

Robinson’s controversial old tweets resurfaced on the day of his debut test. The 27-year-old apologized in a statement, “I want to make it clear that I am not a racist, nor a sexist. I deeply regret my actions and feel ashamed of making such remarks. I was rash and irresponsible. No matter what my mentality was at the time, my actions were unforgivable. Since then, I have matured as a person and regretted the tweets very much.”

Although he apologized to the European Central Bank for suspending him, he will not be able to participate in the second test held in Birmingham on June 10. There have been mixed reactions to Robinson’s suspension in the UK and around the world.
