England all-rounder David Willey, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket after not receiving a central contract from the board, is now facing criticism from Indian fans. This comes after he shared a couple of strange stories on his Instagram, captioning them with ‘Don’t be fooled’ and ‘reality’ from his current hotel stay.

A Twitter user raised questions, seeking clarity on David Willey’s message in these stories, while others on Twitter speculate that he might be mocking those residing in slum areas in India.

India is a developing country, most of the people are middle class, so stop pretending to show the truth, you are nothing but showing your low thinking, ICC earns from the money of this poor country. You also come to IPL to get your ass fucked.#willy #ICCMensCricketWorldCup2023 https://t.co/mvmEts7za7

Firstly, that's one of the finest hotels in India.

Secondly, degrading the infrastructure of a country that your ancestors colonised and looted is hilarious and ironic. https://t.co/IhQtcZwwMq

Yes india is poor and dirty in most parts. It definitely needs a mindset change in its people and the Politicians willing to change it. But don't give me the bullshit that a moron from England is going to make a mockery like this and i need to support him. https://t.co/9s1yVcK4rU

He's just showing his thought process. Typical English behaviour. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's good that he showed it out in the open, now everyone knows their true intentions.

The purpose behind David Willey’s Instagram story is still unclear – whether he was commenting on India’s infrastructure or conveying another message – but what’s certain is that the caption didn’t resonate well with Indian fans.
