Vaughan has targeted ICC regarding this matter.
Michael Vaughan accuses ICC of bias!
Former England captain Michael Vaughan expressed his displeasure on social media platform At the same time, West Indies and South Africa, who were already out of England, are still stuck in India. It seems that power is being misused here.
He wrote, “England got knocked out on Thursday and are returning home on a charter flight today. West Indies got knocked out last Sunday and are still in Kolkata. South Africa is in the same situation. There is misuse of power here. In such a situation all teams should be treated equally. Just because you are more powerful in the ICC table, it doesn’t mean anything.”
