Despite Pakistan efforts to cool down diplomatic tensions in the region after Prime Minister Imran Khan remarks on Afghanistan's politics, Islamabad on Wednesday found itself entrapped in a twitter spat with Washington and Kabul.

This all started with, US ambassador to Afghanistan John R. Bass tweet in which he took a jibe at Imran Khan asking him to not meddle with Afghanistan peace process and its internal affairs.

He wrote: "Some aspects of #cricket apply well in diplomacy, some do not. @ImranKhanPTI, important to resist the temptation to ball-tamper with the #Afghanistan peace process and its internal affairs. #AfgPeace"
