Sunrisers Leeds 'X' Account Suspended Amid Backlash Over Abrar Ahmed Signing For The Hundred
Wales Cricket Board: Sunrisers Leeds' 'X' account has been suspended hours after the franchise completed the signing of Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed during The Hundred 2026 auction held on Thursday.
Abrar became the first Pakistani player signed by an Indian-owned franchise in the tournament. The move to sign Abrar didn't go down well with fans, who took to X to criticise the team's owner and the franchise, terming them anti-national.
Just hours after the team signed Abrar for 190,000 pounds (Rs 2.3 crore), Sunrisers Leeds’ official X (formerly Twitter) account was suspended. While the platform hasn’t provided a specific reason, users attempting to access the account are met with a pop-up message stating, “Account suspended. X suspends accounts that violate the X rules."
