Pacer Ollie Robinson, who returned as England's most successful bowler with two wickets for 50 on the first day of first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, was left red-faced after his racist and misogynist tweets resurfaced on twitter forcing him to issue an apology.

"On the biggest day of my career so far, I am embarrassed by the racist and sexist tweets that I posted over eight years ago, which have today become public. I want to make it clear that I'm not racist and I'm not sexist," he said in a statement.
