New Delhi: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri slammed Michael Vaughan after he criticised the scheduling of the T20 World Cup and said that it favoured India. Vaughan tweeted after South Africa defeated Afghanistan in the first semi-final and said that the whole event is geared towards India and it’s unfair to others.
“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. Surely this semi should have been the Guyana one .. but because the whole event is geared towards India it’s so unfair on others” Vaughan tweeted
Rohit Sharma and Co. defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados and India’s long-standing ICC trophy drought. Rohit Sharma became the first captain to lift the T20 World Cup trophy without losing any match.
‘Nobody in India cares’: Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri responded to Vaughan’s comment and said that he can say whatever he wants and nobody in India cares. He also said that he need to sort out England’s team first and he need to give some advice to England after what happened in the semi-final.
“Michael Vaughan can say what he wants. Nobody in India cares. Let him sort out the England team first. He should advise on what happened to the England team in the semifinal”.
Shastri added that Team India is used to lifting the cups and we won the trophy four times and he doesn’t think Vaughan ever lifted a Cup.
“India are used to lifting Cups. I know England have won twice, but India have won four times. I don’t think Michael’s lifted a Cup ever. So think twice. He is a colleague of mine, but that’s my answer to him”. Shastri told Times Now.
