Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar said on Tuesday England should allow Ollie Robinson to start playing again, after the fast bowler apologised following his suspension for historic racist and sexist tweets. Robinson, 27, was suspended from the England team after the posts resurfaced earlier this month when he made his Test debut against New Zealand. "We need to understand that he did that many, many years ago and he is sorry about it," Tendulkar told AFP. "They left him out in the second Test in spite of doing well and he realises what he had done... he apologised and also said that this won't happen again," he said. Sussex have said Robinson "is a very different man from the one that wrote those tweets", and Tendulkar said he could not agree more.
