Paceman Ollie Robinson is to skip Sussex's two games on Friday and Saturday to spend time with his family "after a difficult week", the county announced on Thursday. He remains suspended from international duty pending the outcome of an investigation into the tweets made in 2012 and 2013. "Ollie Robinson will not be part of the Sussex Sharks squad for the team's opening two Vitality Blast fixtures against Gloucestershire and Hampshire Hawks on Friday and Saturday evenings," read the Sussex statement. "After a difficult week, Ollie has decided to take a short break from the game to spend time with his young family. "Player and staff welfare -- including mental health and wellbeing -- is a priority for the club and, as such, Sussex Cricket fully supports Ollie in his decision."
