Vaughan has actually criticized the schedule of the T-20 World Cup semi-finals. The former England captain believes that the semi-final match between Afghanistan and South Africa should be played in Guyana. Actually Vaughn made another post before this. In which he expressed anger about the schedule.
The former England captain wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the World Cup semi-finals with a win in St Vincent’s on Monday night. Flight to Trinidad on Tuesday was 4 hours late, so no time to practice or acclimatise. No time for a new venue… I’m afraid. is that there is a lack of respect for the players.”
Former England captain Michael Vaughan directly believes that whatever schedule is made, it is made with the intention of benefiting India. At the same time, a match between India and England will be played in Guyana. There is no reserve day for this match. That is, if the match cannot be played even after extra time due to rain, then India will be declared the winner.
The ICC has been accused of prioritizing TV viewers in India ahead of the T20 World Cup semi-final match. The controversy is about the indirect favor given to India in the semi-final match. The ICC is already facing criticism over the World Cup semi-final scheduling controversy.
