Xtra Time Web Desk: Did anyone know about England leg spinner Matt Parkinson? Well very few might be aware of until his old tweets about Indian cricketers resurfaced on social media platforms on Tuesday. The leg spinner from Lancashire has been trending on social media ahead of the ODI series opener in Pune for all the wrong reasons.
Parkinson on several occasions during 2012 to 2014 insulted the Indian cricketers on social media platform twitter. He called the India players cheat and even had the audacity to tweet about Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni as disgraces. In some of his other tweets, he also called Virat Kohli arrogant. He even spoke about Ravindra Jadeja as well. Here are some of his tweets:
He also tweeted about Indian all rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
Parkinson is in the 14 member England ODI squad that is currently taking on India in the three match ODI series. The leg spinner though did not find favour by the team management to be included in the playing XI.
One might wonder how India captain Virat Kohli will react to the leg spinner when he confronts him on the field during the ODI series.
