Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, and Brendon McCullum Tweets:
Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler, the senior English duo, have been particularly under fire since they have played in the IPL for such a long time; hence Indian fans will not simply let it go.
The England Cricket Board (ECB), meanwhile has not yet taken notice of it or taken any action; however, Indian fans are asking for strict action against them. If the board takes the matter seriously, England’s limited-overs captain and his deputy could face sanctions, although it’s unclear whether it will disappear within few days of time.
