The first semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024 was played between South Africa and Afghanistan. The match was played in Trinidad. Afghanistan team lost in this match. The reason for the defeat was the batting as the team collapsed for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind it was something else, which was mentioned by former England cricketer Michael Vaughan as the match began. While posting on social media, he said that the Afghanistan team could lose for two reasons. That’s what happened.
In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan posted one t20 World Cup 2024 Qualified for Semi Finals. His flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. Therefore, he did not get time to practice nor did he get used to moving to a new place. I’m afraid there is a total lack of respect for the players.” He thus took aim at the ICC without naming names, as the schedule is made by the ICC.
Let us tell you that according to West Indies time, the last ball of the match was bowled at 1:09 PM. After this, the Afghanistan team would have taken at least two hours for the post-match presentation ceremony, celebrating reaching the semi-finals, greeting the fans and collecting their belongings. After this, the team would have reached the hotel and rested. An afternoon flight was to be caught, but the flight was four hours late. In such a situation the flight arrived late at night and they did not have time to practice. The next day he had to play a semi-final match and it proved costly for the team. You may recall that even at the beginning of the tournament many teams questioned the schedule. Thus, if it is said that the reason behind Afghanistan’s poor performance is the ICC schedule, then it would not be wrong.
