NEW DELHI: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has found himself at the center of a social media storm after his comment on Pakistan cricket. The controversy arose following Vaughan's criticism of the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) decision to withdraw key players from the ongoing IPL 2024 for a home series against Pakistan, aimed at preparing for the T20 World Cup in June.
Vaughan, who had initially supported the ECB's move amidst backlash from veteran Indian cricketers, changed his stance after the second T20I between England and Pakistan. He argued that the high-pressure matches in the IPL playoffs would have provided better preparation for the World Cup than the series against Pakistan, where the opening game was washed out due to rain.
