Warne has finally responded to Samuels’ comments on Twitter.

“I have just been sent what Samuels has posted re @benstokes38 & I. It is a very sad situation as he obviously needs serious help-but has no friends at all and not even his ex-teammates like him. Just because you were an ordinary cricketer-no need to be an ordinary person. Get help son,” Warne tweeted.

 

Stokes had made the comment about Samuels when speaking about the challenges of living in quarantine ahead of joining his IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals, a team that is mentored by Warne.

Both Stokes and Warne have had on-field altercations with Samuels in the past and the latest episode shows the feud has not died down.
