Hello my friends of the Cricket Community.
Hope all of the members are in good health.
Today I will write a article about 5 Cricketers as they were banned for their social media activites.
Social Media has now become an integral a part of our life. Taking a glance at social media feed has now become a daily routine for nearly every individual. it's become next to impossible for us to steer our lives without various social media apps like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat etc.The same goes with cricketers, despite being famous they too use social media.Cricketers social media activities are often detected by fans and authorities. this is often one among the main reasons why cricketers need to always consider before posting anything on any of their social media accounts.
There are several incidents where emotions have managed to urge the higher of cricketers, thanks to which they need said something controversial on social media. There are few incidents where such cricketers are punished for his or her social media activity.
- NO 1-RORY BURNS
Rory Burns
This is one among the foremost recent cases. English opener Rory Burns hasn’t really been having the simplest of times in India, neither has his team. England’s performance within the recently concluded third Test against India resulted in an unsightly spat between him and England Women spinner Alex Hartley on Twitter.
Burns had twit back at Alex Hartley on Twitter after the latter had taken a dig at the national men’s team for getting over with the unexpected Test within two days. “Nice to see the britain boys to urge this match game finished just before England Women's Team play tonight,” Hartley had written on Twitter using four clapping emojis. She had also written that they were getting ready for their second ODI against New Zealand within the same post.
Not taking kindly to Hartley posts, Burns had posted, “Very unexpected attitude considering all the boys do to support the Women’s game.” The tweet was later deleted. England then decided to offer opener Rory Burns a reprimand for this tweet, which he posted after their humiliating defeat within the third Test against India in Ahmedabad.
Talking about this incident, England head coach Chris Silverwood said, “It’s not on behalf of me to guage thereon one. which will be addressed back in England, obviously. For me, I don’t get bother about things like that. I’ve got more on my plate this end to stress about. That’s what I’ll be encouraging the boys to try to to as well: keep their head in what’s happening here.”

Darren Bravo has had his justifiable share of controversies. Bravo has been one among the foremost underrated Test batsmen for the West Indies . This incident involving Darren Bravo and Dave Cameron happened in 2016.Bravo was sent home before the tournament in Zimbabwe back in 2016. After which the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) refused his match/tour contract over a controversial tweet.As a result WICB President Dave Cameron’s criticism for his form which gave him to earn only a Grade C retainer contract, Bravo tweeted: “You are losing 4 d last 4yrs. If you don’t resign and I have never been given an A contract."The board then informed DM Bravo that he had contravened the terms of his match/tour contract which he would be withdrawn from the tour. He was also given a deadline to get rid of the offending tweet but did not do so. A subsequent WICB release stated that Bravo had been dropped “due to inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour which is contrary to his contractual obligations to the WICB”.
- NO 3-EMILY SMITH

Emily Smith was initially banned for 12 months before her ban was reduced to only 2 months. The Hobart Hurricanes wicketkeeper posted the Hurricanes team which was ready to face Sydney Thunder on her personal Instagram account on Saturday, 2 November 2019. The match was abandoned due to the poor weather over there some time past .Cricket Australia’s Anti-Corruption Code prohibits disclosing details where the “participant knew or might reasonably have known that such disclosure might cause the knowledge getting used in reference to betting in reference to any match or event”. While some people felt her punishment was too harsh, the others felt that it had been rightly deserved. Sean Carroll, CA’s head of integrity and security, then said that the administration accepted that there was no intent to breach the code but all players must remember of their responsibilities.
Carroll said via a CA statement: “Whilst Cricket Australia acknowledges that at the time of posting the team line-up there was no intent to breach the Anti-Corruption Code, CA’s rigorous anti-corruption player education program means players are cognizant of their obligations under the Anti-Corruption Code and there's no excuse for breaches no matter the explanations for information being disclosed.
- NO 4-KEVIN PIETERSEN

It is safe to mention that KP was one among the foremost enigmatic players of all time. Despite all his achievements and accolades, controversies never appeared to get obviate him. the previous English skipper’s poor form resulted in him being dropped for the britain squads to require on the tourists in five ODIs and two T20s in 2010.Pietersen broke that news by posting a message on Twitter which said: “Done for remainder of summer!! Man of the planet Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too.. Its [sic] a f*** up!!” This didn’t go rather well with the ECB. They punished him for this and he faced ECB looked for this tweet.Geoff Miller, the national selector was clearly unimpressed both by Pietersen’s outburst and therefore the use of Twitter generally . “Whether there's an apology or not, I’m sure [England coach] Andy Flower will have a word with him. I don’t like that sort of language – and that i don’t use that language in the least . I don’t follow Twitter and I’m not an excellent believer therein quite thing. I don’t think it's necessary.” Miller said. KP deleted this tweet minutes later and has apologized for his controversial tweet also as for his harsh words.
- NO 5-SURYAKUMAR YADAV

It is sure that Suryakumar Yadav has been one among India’s best players within the domestic circuit for quite while now. For his outstanding form he was rewarded by getting selected for the Indian team for the upcoming T20I series against England. Moreover SKY had once landed during a controversy only because of social media.In 2017, Mumbai Cricket Association's senior selection committee picked their 14 member-squad for the inter-state at some point limited over league which held in Chennai from February 25. The committee controlled by Milind Rege kept the 15th member’s slot vacant for ensuing 24 hours as of the MCA has sent a notice to its star player Yadav seeking explanation on a retweet. The Retweet stated: “You are dropped? seems like Bombay selectors are unaware that you simply are the Vice Capt of IPL champion team KKR.”
This didn’t go well with the selectors. during a letter sent to the SuryakumarYadav, MCA had warned its batsman that if he's unable to offer a satisfactory reply then MCA will take strict action against him. However all of this is often within the past as SKY features a specialized chance of creating his international debut for India within the upcoming T20I series against England.
That's all for today.Hope all of you will like my article.
