Iceland Cricket’s Hilarious X Post On ICC Goes Viral

In a classic display of their trademark “deadpan” humor, Iceland Cricket has set social media on fire by trolling the International Cricket Council (ICC) over a choice of words.

Following Italy’s historic 10-wicket win over Nepal at the T20 World Cup 2026 on Thursday, the ICC posted a celebratory tweet that inadvertently gave the Icelandic jokers an opening.

The “Ecstasy” Banter

The exchange began early Friday morning, February 13, 2026, when the ICC’s official handle shared photos of the jubilant Italian squad with the caption:

“Ecstasy in the Italy camp after their maiden win at the #T20WorldCup 😍”

Iceland Cricket, never one to miss a beat, quote-tweeted the post with a mock-serious accusation:

“So much for the ICC’s anti-drugs stance. Here they are openly endorsing the use of ecstasy by the Italian squad.”

The post quickly went viral, with fans praising the account for its consistent ability to find humor in the smallest linguistic details of the cricketing world.
