ECB reprimands Rory Burns over Twitter spat with Alex Hartley

The Hindu  

England Test opener Rory Burns was given a talking by the England and Wales Cricket Board officials after the southpaw engaged in a Twitter argument with women's team left-arm spinner Alex Hartley. “Team management here in India have spoken with Rory," an ECB spokesperson confirmed to ESPNcricinfo Following the men's team 10-wicket loss to India in the third Test in Ahmedabad on Thursday, Hartley had tweeted it was nice of the men's team to finish proceedings before the women's team played against New Zealand. Nice of the England boys to get this test match finished just before England Women play tonight Catch them on @btsportcricket#INDvENG#bbccricket#NZvENG — Alexandra Hartley February 25, 2021 Burns, clearly unamused by Hartley's tweet, replied back, saying, “Very disappointing attitude considering all the ‘boys’ do to support the Women’s game”. We are all test match fans pic.twitter.com/NIJU8QM2Xi — Alexandra Hartley February 25, 2021 Men's team head coach Chris Silverwood chose not to be drawn into the issue.
