Ollie Robinson free to carry on playing cricket - despite 'ban' for offensive tweets
Ollie Robinson can carry on playing cricket for Sussex - and England if selected - after five matches of an eight-game ban imposed for racist and sexist tweets he posted as a teenager were suspended.
Five games of the ban are suspended for two years and three have already been served - the second Test against New Zealand and two T20 Blast matches for Sussex Sharks.
The punishment was made by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC), an independent panel that adjudicated on the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) rules and also fined Robinson £3,200.
