The board have agreed to recommendations that will see guidelines around online activity assessed in the wake of the Ollie Robinson episode
Ollie Robinson avoids Sussex punishment for historic racist and sexist tweets
The England and Wales Cricket Board have committed to a review of all historic social media posts made by players.
Ollie Robinson and another unnamed player are currently under investigation for previous online activity, but others could soon come under scrutiny.
The Sussex seamer has been suspended from international cricket for racist and sexist tweets sent in 2012 and 2013, that were uncovered during his England Test debut against New Zealand at Lord's.
The ECB board met on Wednesday (June 9) and agreed to recommendations made by executives that a period of consultation regarding previous social media use is required.
However, the governing body insists it will not affect any ongoing investigations or "prevent further disciplinary action being taken in the future".
They also include that the correct mechanics are in place to ensure suspensions and disciplinary actions under player employment contracts can be imposed.
ECB chairman Ian Watmore said: "As the national governing body, we must steer a path between helping individuals project an inclusive image, educating them on what is expected of them and allowing them the space to express themselves to the public.
"We must also investigate their actions and sanction them when they fall short."
PCA chief executive, Rob Lynch, added: "The last week has been an important period for all professional cricketers across our sport.
"We are committed to working with our members and the ECB on further education, and there is always more that we can do."
