Posted just ahead of the start of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, the Cricket Australia tweet read: “Will the real Monty Panesar please stand up?!”
It sparked claims of racism, and CA moved quickly to remove the offending item and apologise. “We apologise for any offence caused with our previous tweet. That was certainly not the intention. It has been removed,” CA said in a subsequent tweet about the photo of the men, dressed as the popular children’s television characters.
