Ravi Shastri Hits Back At England’s Michael Vaughan For India T20 World Cup Remark
Shastri dismissed Vaughan's accusations, stressing the strength and accomplishments of the Indian team.
Former India coach Ravi Shastri has responded strongly to ex-England captain Michael Vaughan‘s remarks about the T20 World Cup scheduling allegedly favoring India. Vaughan had suggested that the organizers were biased towards India, citing Afghanistan’s poor performance in the semifinal against South Africa as evidence.
In that match, Afghanistan was bowled out for just 56 runs following a historic achievement of reaching their first-ever semifinal in an ICC tournament. Vaughan highlighted that Afghanistan faced a flight delay to Trinidad, resulting in limited practice and acclimatization time.
“So Afghanistan qualified for the WC semi, winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players, I am afraid,” Vaughan tweeted. “Surely this semi should have been the Guyana one .. but because the whole event is geared towards India it’s so unfair on others .. #T20IWorldCup.”
