The official account of Sunrisers Leeds on X was unexpectedly suspended just hours after the franchise announced the signing of Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed, sparking widespread reactions among cricket fans online.
According to reports circulating on social media, Sunrisers Leeds confirmed the addition of Abrar Ahmed to their squad at around 8:30 PM on Thursday.

Soon after the suspension became visible, screenshots of the inactive account started circulating among fans. Several users began discussing the timing of the suspension, as it came shortly after the franchise publicly revealed Abrar Ahmed’s signing. While some fans questioned whether the two developments were connected, others suggested that the suspension could simply be due to technical issues or platform policy enforcement.
Abrar Ahmed is one of the most talked-about mystery spinners in modern cricket and has represented the Pakistan national cricket team in international matches. His bowling style and impressive performances in recent years have made him a notable name in T20 leagues around the world.
The suspension also sparked discussions involving Kavya Maran, who is associated with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. However, there has been no official confirmation linking her or the IPL franchise to the situation involving Sunrisers Leeds.
At the time of writing, neither the franchise nor X has issued an official explanation regarding the reason behind the account suspension. It remains unclear whether the action was temporary, related to verification or security checks, or triggered by other platform rules.
The unexpected suspension has nevertheless drawn attention from cricket followers online, highlighting once again how quickly social media developments can become a talking point in the global cricket community. Fans are now waiting to see whether the account will be restored and if the franchise will address the situation publicly.
