I've grown as a person now, says Robinson after 5-wkt haul

TIL Desk Sports/ England pacer Ollie Robinson, who took a maiden five-wicket haul in his comeback Test after being suspended for his offensive old racist tweets, said he has grown as a person since then.

Robinson was banned after his racist and sexist tweets as an 18-year-old were discovered on the opening day of his Test debut against New Zealand at Lord’s in June. “I was young, 18-19 years old. I made a lot of mistakes, not just those tweets. I’ve grown as a person a lot in that time.

“Obviously, I’ve learned a lot to try to develop as a person in the last 10 years. I try to make myself the best person I can be,” he said, at the end of play on Day 3 in the first Test against India, on Friday.

The 27-year-old played only two T20 games for Sussex since his suspension from international cricket and bounced back to grab five wickets for 85 runs as India were dismissed for 278.
