Vaughan Takes Dig At Jaffer And India, Ex-Star's Reply Goes Viral

Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer hilariously took a dig at ex-England star Michael Vaughan in a fun banter. Recently, the Rohit Sharma-led side crumbled against Sri Lanka spinners and lost the ODI series by 2-0. During a Q&A on X, Vaughan took a dig at Jaffer by asking him about India's recent performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. "Hi, Wasim .. What was the recent ODI series result in Sri Lanka? I have been away and missed it. Hope all is well," Jaffer wrote on X.

Wasim responded to Vaughan by bringing up England's record in the Ashes, in which the Three Lions last emerged victorious in 2015.

"I'll put it in Ashes terms for you Michael. Ind won as many games in that series as the Tests Eng have won in Aus in last 12 years," Jaffer wrote on X.

Jaffer previously stated that India's series defeat wasn't a reason for concern for him, but it was troublesome for him that India have only three more ODIs left before the ICC Champions Trophy scheduled for the next year.

Avishka Fernando's 96-run knock and Dunith Wellalage's five-wicket haul helped Sri Lanka clinch a 110-run win over India in the third ODI match of the series at the R Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday.

This was India's first ODI assignment after their heartbreaking loss to Australia in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup at home last year in November. This was also their first series ahead of next year's Champions Trophy, which is set to be held in Pakistan next year.

India's next assignment in ODIs will be a home series of three matches against England in February next year.

"Wins and losses are part of the game. However, it's a point of concern that India has just 3 ODIs before the Champions Trophy," Jaffer wrote on X.

Before taking on their next ODI series, India will engage in a two-match Test series against Bangladesh on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.

"Because Of Harsh Steps Taken...": Jay Shah's Blunt Take On Iyer, Kishan

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it mandatory for all the centrally contracted players, who are fit and off national duty, to participate in domestic cricket. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer are the ones who have already been at the receiving end of the Board's fury for not playing domesic cricket when possible. The two players were excluded from the list of central contracts that was announced by BCCI earlier this year as they missed out on domestic games despite being fit and also away from international circuit. Both Iyer and Kishan are part of the upcoming Duleep Trophy that is set to start on September 5. BCCI secretary Jay Shah has said that the two players have taken the decision as a result of BCCI's harsh action. "If you look Duleep Trophy squad, apart from Rohit and Virat rest are going to play. It's because of the harsh steps I have taken, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are playing Duleep Trophy," Jay Shah told Times of India .
