And, after that, on Monday, the England and Wales Cricket Board has suspend him. While many has opened up on this matter so far, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden believes this has gone way too much and also criticised the ECB’s decision, asking them to reconsider it as well. However, they are currently playing a two-match Test series against New Zealand where the first one ended in a draw. And, the Kiwi pacer who is ready to play in the match, said: “I don’t think they will be too distracted. There are a few things going on the sidelines.I’m sure they will be on the ball. They will be desperate to put in a good performance. These guys have played a lot of cricket. They are tremendous at home. I think they can put those things on the sideline and focus on the game.” Although he didn’t criticise Robinson, he stated that players should be careful all the time what they say on social media as it can backfired anytime. However, this series mark a good preparation for them prior to the summit clash against India in the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton from June 18.
