The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has now confirmed this and issued a statement saying, "The Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) announced its decision in connection with the two blames on Robinson. Robinson has directed the ECB 3.3 and 3.4 violation charges were accepted. His tweets were between 2012 and 2014 when he was 18 and 20 years old.
