Cricket icons take to twitter in reaction to Faf du Plessis’ ball-tampering allegations.
After the ICC laid a level 2 charge against the interim Proteas captain, there has been some strong reactions on Twitter regarding the charges against Faf du Plessis.
Moments after the charges went public, a video surfaced where Hashim Amla and the Proteas squad stand together defending their skipper, rubbishing the allegations. See the video here.
Here are some of the reactions:
