The old tweets by IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders players Eoin Morgan, Mccullum and Jos Buttler insulting the young Indian players are now known to have sparked outrage. The ECB has suspended new player Oli Robinson for allegedly making racist tweets. Currently, the tweets made by Morgan and Butler in 2018 mocking Indians’ sarcasm and language were going viral on social media.
IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders have announced that they will not tolerate racism and xenophobia. The team revealed that it would not tolerate if the players make such remarks.
“We will take appropriate action against those who made hateful remarks. We will know the facts and act accordingly,” an ECB spokesperson said.
