Stuart Broad said.
England's
Jofra Archer and
Moeen Ali have been subjected to abuse on social media and Broad said he would be willing to take a stand against it.
"There are great positives to social media but if we have to lose those positives for a period of time to make a stand then I'd be well up for that," he added.
"If there was action it would come from the leaders in our dressing room and if the team felt like a change needed to happen we've got some really great people above us in the hierarchy who would be very open to what the team's beliefs were.
"It's a really strong message. I think it is definitely worth a conversation."
In soccer, Scottish champions Rangers and English second-tier side Swansea City said last week they would boycott social media for a week after several players from both teams were racially abused.
