England bowler Ollie Robinson is likely to be dropped for the second Test against New Zealand next week, in the wake of the row over his racist and sexist tweets.
Robinson impressed in taking two more wickets on his Test debut overnight, ending with figures of 4-75, but the England and Wales Cricket Board is understood to be determined to make an example of him as it tries to root out discrimination in cricket.
The ECB launched an investigation into Robinson's conduct - focussing on tweets he sent in 2012 and 2013 which included racist and sexist language - on Thursday morning and is set to drop him from the squad for the second Test, which begins at Edgbaston next Thursday. The investigation could yet lead to him being ruled out of some of the side's upcoming series against India too.
The governing body will also improve its due diligence processes and possibly look to use an external company to vet social media accounts of new players. The ECB plans to step-up its collaboration with the Professional Cricketers Association on education programmes.
Robinson apologised to his teammates in the Lord's dressing room after the emergence of his posts on Thursday. He made it clear he wanted to take responsibility for his actions, which is understood to have gone down well with senior members of the squad.
