After KP, Mascarenhas involved in Twitter rant against ECB

Dimitri MascarenhasAfter Kevin Pietersen's [ Images ] rant on Twitter, another England [ Images ] player Dimitri Mascarenhas [ Images ] is being investigated by the English Cricket Board (ECB) for reportedly posting two tweets blasting ECB chief selector Geoff Miller.

The first post sent from the Twitter account @DimiMascarenhas read: "Geoff miller is a complete knob. He had no clue what he is doing. Fing prick."

A second said: "Chairman of selectors came to Liverpool and didn't even come and say hi ... what a prick. Doesn't take much to say hello, does it."

Both messages do not appear on the Twitter feed anymore, the Guardian website reports.

Last week Pietersen had launched a foul-mouthed tirade on Twitter when he was dropped from the England One-day and Twenty20 [ Images ] squads.

Pietersen will face an official hearing after publishing a tweet that read: "Done for rest of summer! Man of the World Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too...its a f*** up!!!."

Mascarenhas, who does not have a central contract with England, last played for England in a Twenty20 match against India [ Images ] more than a year ago and currently plays for English county side Hampshire, New Zealand [ Images ] Herald reports.

The all-rounder played for the Otago Volts last year.

An ECB spokesman said: "We are aware of the tweet and we are investigating the matter."
