Queensland batsman Chris Lynn could find himself in hot water after

using Twitter to opine about assault allegations levelled against NRL player Ben Te’o.

Te’o released a statement on Wednesday saying he had not “acted improperly” after a Brisbane woman said she was left bleeding and abandoned with a fractured eye socket from an alleged assault by the South Sydney’s player.

Lynn then posted three messages on Twitter concerning the woman and discrediting her allegations, before deleting them.

A Queensland Cricket spokesman confirmed it was investigating the matter.

Lynn is a fluent stroke player, who has played in the Indian Premier League and made a first-class century at the age of 19.

The 23-year-old’s gaffe follows David Warner’s expletive-laden Twitter rant against News Ltd journalists Robert Craddock and Malcolm Conn.

Warner was fined $5750 by Cricket Australia (CA) and expressed remorse on Thursday.

Given Lynn is not a CA contracted player, any sanction would be handed out by his state organisation.
