London, March 6: After former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson took a dig at Ben Stokes and the England team for saying they will not shake hands during the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka because of the coronavirus outbreak, Stokes got back starting a war of words between the two.

Johnson had referred to the Bristol brawl to take a dig at England's Ashes and World Cup hero Stokes, where the all-rounder was initially charged by the police before being acquitted. Johnson started the feud by writing in his Instagram story (as per Daily Telegraph): "Is this a p*** take? You can jam your fist pump England hahahaha just be careful though, Stokesy might react with a sucker punch."
