English cricketer Kevin Pietersen's Twitter account suspended for threatening Piers Morgan

Cricketer Kevin Pietersen's Twitter account was suspended after he jokingly threatened to slap UK TV personality, Piers Morgan.

Morgan on Saturday took to Twitter to share that the British batsman got his account suspended.

The TV presenter had mocked the cricketer by saying that he couldn't "slap his way out of a paper bag."

Hitting back at Morgan, Kevin wrote: "@piersmorgan I slap you when I see you! That won't be nonsense!"

Kevin's account was suspended soon after he responded to the TV show host. 

Piers Morgan then requested Twitter to reinstate his friend's account.
