5 Unexpected Tweets from international cricketers that turned controversial
Some players also faced backlash for not keeping their emotions in check.
2. Waqar Younis’s ‘Big relief for India’ post
Waqar Younis is considered one of the greatest bowlers to play the game of cricket due to his extraordinary international career. From a legendary player like him, cricket supporters always expect wise words but he has consistently created a furore with his reckless remarks.
Ahead of the 2022 Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan in Dubai, Shaheen Afridi was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. Reacting to the news, Waqar wrote on Twitter, “Shaheen’s injury Big relief for the Indian top order batsmen. Sad we won’t be seeing him in #AsiaCup2022 Get fit soon Champ @iShaheenAfridi.
Waqar’s tweet angered Team India fans and they reminded him of India’s dominance over Pakistan in the International Cricket Council (ICC) events. Former India pacer Irfan Pathan also gave a savage response to Younis, writing, “It’s a relief of other teams that Bumrah and Harshal aren’t playing this Asia cup!”
