Meanwhile, James Anderson has also responded to Sky Sports regarding the tweet. H said, “The historical stuff, for me, it was 10, 11 years ago. I have certainly changed as a person since then. That’s the difficulty; things do change and you do make mistakes.”
The ECB has denounced these tweets and affirmed their anti-discrimination stand. “There is no place for discrimination in our sport, and we are committed to taking relevant and appropriate action where required,” the England board said in a statement.
“Given the concerns which have been raised are clearly now broader than a single case, the ECB Board will discuss how we deal with issues over historical social media material in a timely and appropriate manner. Each case will be considered on an individual basis, looking at all the facts. We will assess cases with the ECB Board before making further statements.”
In the above tweets, you see, England’s wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler and limited overs skipper Eoin Morgan’s alleged racist tweets, using the word ‘sir’ to mock Indians, surfaced on the social media.
