After being at the receiving end of a befitting reply from Ben Stokes, it was Jos Buttler and Joe Root’s turn to troll the most controversial cricketer in England’s history Kevin Pietersen. The duo took to Instagram by posting a video of their training session and sarcastically hash-tagged the post by ‘Beers in Spain’
The England team is currently breaking their sweat in Spain in order to prepare for their gruelling season ahead. England is freshly off their victorious series against Ireland and are all set to launch their campaign against the South Africans and ICC Champions Trophy.
Following the Champions Trophy, they face of South Africa in a 4-match Test affair. Many of the England players were engaged in the Indian Premier League prior to their hectic schedule upfront. As a result, many of the players had to pull off the tournament citing national duties.
Stokes, who has been an essential player in the Rising Pune Supergiant, along with Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes, and skipper Eoin Morgan, pulled out of the last leg of the IPL. Woakes and Buttler were a part of the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders franchise this season while Morgan and Roy had limited chances in the IPL for Kings XI Punjab and Gujarat Lions respectively. All English players had field-day at the IPL auctions this year.
Beer in Spain controversy
Pietersen, who is enjoying the IPL this season as a presenter, took to Twitter, to take a dig at the players who pulled out of the tournament, just to have beers in Spain.
He tweeted by saying, ” Absolutely PATHETIC that @benstokes38 & @josbuttler have to go drink a few beers in Spain instead of playing IPL finals!”
