10 months ago 25

NEW DELHI: Former India coach

Ravi Shastri

launched a scathing attack on

Michael Vaughan

after the former England captain criticised the scheduling of the

T20 World Cup

and suggested that it favoured India.
Vaughan expressed strong disapproval regarding the tournament's schedule, particularly in the aftermath of Afghanistan's heavy defeat against South Africa in the semifinal match.

He emphasized the potential exhaustion experienced by the players, which he attributed to flight delays that left them with insufficient time for proper training and preparation.
"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," tweeted Vaughan. "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."

Shastri dismissed Vaughan's claims and suggested that he should instead focus on providing guidance to the England team regarding their semifinal departure.
"Michael can say what he wants. Nobody in India cares. Let him sort out the England team first. He should give advice on what happened to the England team in the semifinal," Shastri said while speaking to Times Now.
"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," he added.
Shastri also rubbished the debate regarding

Suryakumar Yadav

's catch during the final over of the T20 World Cup final match against South Africa.
"Sour grapes. And go and check the record books after five years. The name India will be engraved on it."
