The official account of Sunrisers Leeds on X was suspended just hours after the franchise announced the signing of Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed, sparking widespread discussion among cricket fans online.
The development quickly caught attention on social media as the timing of the suspension came shortly after the franchise revealed the new signing. According to users tracking the activity, Sunrisers Leeds confirmed Abrar Ahmed’s inclusion in their squad at around 8:30 PM, sharing the news through their official channels.
However, by the early hours of the morning, several users noticed that the team’s X account had become inaccessible. Around 2:00 AM, the account appeared to have been suspended, with visitors seeing the standard platform notice indicating that the account was no longer available.

The sudden suspension led to a wave of reactions across the platform, with fans sharing screenshots and speculating about the reason behind the action. While some users connected the timing to the announcement of Abrar Ahmed’s signing, others suggested the suspension could be related to platform policies, account verification issues, or other technical reasons.
Abrar Ahmed has emerged as one of the most exciting mystery spinners in international cricket in recent years. Representing the Pakistan national cricket team, the young spinner has impressed fans with his variations and ability to trouble batters across formats.
Meanwhile, the situation also triggered conversations involving Kavya Maran, who is widely known for her association with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. However, there has been no official confirmation linking her or the IPL franchise to the suspension of the Sunrisers Leeds account.
As of now, neither Sunrisers Leeds nor X has released an official statement explaining the reason behind the suspension. It remains to be seen whether the account will be restored in the coming hours or if the franchise will provide further clarification.
The episode has once again highlighted the powerful role social media plays in modern cricket, where even off-field developments can quickly become major talking points among fans worldwide.
