Many big players refused to play in the PSL (Pakistan Super League) finale due to growing security concerns; Luke Wright, the famous English player was the latest one to step back.
Yes, the cricketer was a part of Quetta Gladiators but decided against playing in Pakistan. No doubt, bonus payments and tight arrangements were promised to the players, but in spite of that, players Rilee Rossouw, Nathan McCullum, Tymal Mills and Kevin Pietersen opted out of the final. Local fans are disappointed because many big names are missing.
Luke took to Twitter and announced this news; check it out…
It's with a heavy heart I will not be coming to Lahore. I have a young family and for me a game of cricket is just not worth the risk 1/3

I'm sorry as I know how much it means to you all and hopefully in the future the safety will not be in doubt to come play there. 2/3

As soon as player tweeted this, many cricket fans were disheartened.
No doubt, Luke thanked all the fans for their constant support, but still, his tweets didn’t go down well with a Pakistani fan who decided to troll him. On seeing Luke’s tweets, this Pakistani user Mustafa Khalid Lone, hurled abuses at him. Check out his tweet;

However, instead of keeping quiet, Luke preferred giving a befitting reply to him. Here’s his reply…
