- Robinson takes five for 85 to keep England in the first Test
- Seamer was suspended earlier in summer over offensive tweets
He had taken his first Test five-fer in only his second match – but Ollie Robinson, suspended after the discovery of offensive tweets he posted nine years ago, admitted that in June he feared his England career was over. “There was a time when I was speaking with my lawyers and we were looking at the fact I could be banned for a couple of years and never play for England again,” said Robinson at the close of day three of the first Test against India.
“In a couple of years I’d have turned 30 and someone else might have come in and taken my spot. So there was definitely a time I had doubts over my career, but luckily it all came good today.”
