Controversies are a part and parcel of the game. And ever since Twitter and social media has come into the picture, those controversies have popped up as well. Pakistani cricketers are no strangers to off-field problems and controversies.

We’ve seen multiple cricketers get into trouble and trolled on Twitter for their tweets. Some of them have been pretty controversial. And when it goes viral and they receive a lot of flak, they tend to delete such posts. However, they also get caught with others capturing those tweets and trending it later.

Hence, here we look at three such times when Pakistani cricketers deleted their controversial tweets.

1. Junaid Khan ‘taped mouth’ after World Cup snub

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-342904" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Junaid-Khan-picture.jpg" alt="Junaid Khan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-342904" class="wp-caption-text">Junaid Khan.

There was a lot going on with the World Cup and the respective team&#8217;s selection. There were certain players who snubbed but took it really well. But on the other hand, there were players who couldn’t take their omission well. Hence, they took to Twitter to express their disappointment.

Junaid Khan was one among them. The Pakistan left-arm pacer was first included in the draft squad which was supposed to be picked a month in advance. However, a month later, there were some chopping and changing in Pakistan’s squad. Mohammad Amir was picked ahead of Junaid and the latter couldn’t take it well.

Hence, he took to Twitter to express his displeasure. In fact, Amir had been out of form and hence, Junaid was very disappointed. Thus, he put up a picture on Twitter with his mouth sporting a black taped. He captioned it, “I don’t want to say anything. Truth is bitter.”

OK, Amir is a good bowler. When Original World Cup Squad was announced I was 100% Sure that they will drop <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/JunaidKhan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#JunaidKhan</a> and Amir will play <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WorldCup2019?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WorldCup2019</a> <a href="https://t.co/0x16Bl2DRA">pic.twitter.com/0x16Bl2DRA</a>&mdash; Bil al🇵🇰 (@Bilal_abbasid) <a href="https://twitter.com/Bilal_abbasid/status/1130527179220148226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 20, 2019</a>

If the ICC are still short of ideas for the World Cup opening ceremony, I propose Junaid Khan with tape on his mouth bowling to Ambati Rayudu with his 3D glasses on. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CWC19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CWC19</a> <a href="https://t.co/BmqIuDQxnu">pic.twitter.com/BmqIuDQxnu</a>&mdash; Raunak Kapoor (@RaunakRK) <a href="https://twitter.com/RaunakRK/status/1130497725219262464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 20, 2019</a>

2. Hasan Ali cheers for team India

Pakistan had a very difficult start to their 2019 World Cup campaign. They won just one game from their first five games. Their fifth game was against India and things had started to go downhill. Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed was criticised heavily as well.

Fast bowler Hasan Ali was having a torrid time. He had a forgettable outing against India. He was left out of the team after that. However, before Pakistan’s next game, Ali attracted a lot of attention on <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/youve-really-tweeted-this-kevin-pietersen-alviro-peterson-involve-in-war-of-words-on-twitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a>. It was for his reply to a tweet that was congratulating India for their win over Pakistan.

A journalist had posted a tweet congratulating Virat Kohli and his boys for their win over arch-rivals Pakistan. The tweet read, “Congratulations #TeamIndia for the splendid win and giving us a moment to celebrate and to feel proud to be an Indian. #IndianCricketTeam let&#8217;s capture the world cup now.” Ali replied by telling that her wish would come true and congratulated her as well. The Pakistan pacer’s tweet read, “Hogi ap ki dua pori congratulation.”

3. Sarfaraz Ahmed deletes Urdu poem by a young boy

It is no secret Sarfaraz Ahmed is an outspoken cricketer. He loves speaking his mind and doesn’t shy away from that fact. In fact, he’s done that on multiple occasions on and off the field. Sarfaraz has been caught saying peculiar things, during the post-match presentations, press conferences and also, on the field to his players.

Earlier this year, the Pakistan skipper was criticized heavily for his racist comments on Andile Phehlukwayo. He had passed comments in Urdu during the third ODI on Pakistan’s tour of South Africa. Hence, he was banned for four subsequent games.

Ahmed missed the last two ODIs of the five-match series and the first two T20Is of the three-match series. When he was suspended, the Pakistan skipper put out a video of a child narrating a poem that people thought he might be referring to and using such terms on the field as well. However, Sarfaraz deleted the post after a lot of criticism.

Sarfaraz deleted his tweet which he did an hour ago!!! <a href="https://t.co/eJA3TgZYFG">pic.twitter.com/eJA3TgZYFG</a>&mdash; Syed Raza Mehdi (@SyedRezaMehdi) <a href="https://twitter.com/SyedRezaMehdi/status/1090226746312413186?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 29, 2019</a>
