DTVHINDIMichael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England
Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”

Let us tell you that today on 20 August, the bail plea of the former cricketer has been rejected by the Brisbane Supreme Court. It is worth noting that Michael has been in custody for some time due to domestic violence, while when he sought release to attend a rehabilitation facility in New South Wales, his plea has been rejected. Apart from being a brilliant cricketer, Michael Slater is also a well-known name in cricket commentary. Michael has played 74 Test matches for Australia from 1993 to 2001, in which he has scored more than 5 thousand runs. After the end of his cricket career, he made a name as a television commentator. These allegations have been leveled against the cricketer The former cricketer is accused of attacking and strangling a woman during an alleged violent assault that lasted several months. In addition, he allegedly sent hundreds of abusive messages to the victim. These serious allegations led to his arrest in April and subsequent refusal of bail. However, when the cricketer’s legal team filed a petition for bail in the court, they clearly refused to grant it. Regarding the above issue, Michael Slater’s lawyer Barrister Greg McGuire said in a statement to NDTV- There is a very real danger that by the time the matter is resolved he (Slater) will have spent a lot more time in custody. The proposed conditions are that he will go to a Sydney clinic until they are satisfied of his ability to go. He has now had to face the consequences of his behaviour and spend 4.5 months in custody.

He said that he started experiencing this recently. But the surprising thing is that he has not got this disease treated nor has he made any such plan. “I have never had my mental health checked. I think this is a normal thing in today’s world and things get better slowly on their own. You can ask my parents, I have never even gone to a doctor for this. My condition has become such that I remain very sad and upset throughout the day, and for many days I do not move from one place, I just lie down all day.” “I just couldn’t get out of bed. Losing family members, losing some of my closest friends, so I think I was the one who suffered the most, but I think it was grief. I don’t know if it was depression or not. I never went to the doctor to get medication to take care of my sadness and depression.”

Talking about Sachin Tendulkar, he has scored 15921 runs in 200 Test matches. Michael Waugh wrote in his column in the Telegraph, ‘Joe Root will become England’s highest run-scorer in the coming months and I think he can also break Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Joe Root has been batting very well for some time now and is also scoring runs at a fast pace. Joe Root’s performance is getting even better.’ Joe Root will also be eyeing to break Alastair Cook’s record Let us tell you, former England captain Alastair Cook has scored 33 Test centuries.

England is selecting players who… Michael Vaughan points out a big mistake before Ashes 2025
The former England captain said that the selectors should have chosen Jack Leach instead of Shoaib Bashir. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”
“He is the best fast bowler in white ball cricket…”- Michael Conn praised Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has taken 15 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 8.26 and an economy of 4.17. Jasprit Bumrah and Michael Vaughan (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) Jasprit Bumrah has won the Player of the Tournament title by performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2024. Bumrah’s bowling has been top class throughout the tournament. He has taken 15 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 8.26, economy of 4.17. Bumrah is currently garnering a lot of praise in the cricket world. Former England player Michael Vaughan has also not been able to stop himself from praising Bumrah. Michael Vaughan says that Jasprit Bumrah is the greatest bowler in white ball cricket. Vaughan believes that Bumrah has a different plan to bowl against every batsman. This is how Jasprit Bumrah acts under pressure- Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan, speaking to Wisden, said, He is a great bowler who plans to bowl against all different batsmen but you still have to have the skill set and you have to know when to bowl which ball. If you can tell me any better seam bowler. I know Wasim Akram was special and there are many others who have been mentioned but I think he has amazing action ability and he has pace, he has all the different skills and he does it day in and day out under pressure. It is not just two or three times in a World Cup. South Africa needed 30 runs from the last 30 balls to win the final in Barbados. Bumrah bowled in the death overs and gave away just 6 runs in two overs and also took a wicket. Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets for 18 runs in his four-over spell. He dismissed Reeza Hendricks (4) and Marco Jansen (2). Describing Jasprit Bumrah as the best fast bowler, Michael Vaughan further said, The wicket of Reeza Hendricks was brilliant. He probably bent to hit the ball on leg stump and at the last minute the ball moved away and hit the off stump. The ball that bowled Jensen was also brilliant. Batsmen are trying to hit him, he just follows them so they don’t get any width and then he sees they’ve got a bit of space and he bowls it a bit wide. He has that slower ball which is a genius ball. He is the best fast bowler to have played white ball cricket.
‘Bowling at the toss is a…’ Michael Vaughan after T20 World Cup semi-final loss to India
India has won against England by 68 runs. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 was played yesterday on 27 June between India and England (IND vs ENG) at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Let us tell you that in this match, Team India defeated England by 68 runs in a one-sided match. Batting first, the Indian team gave England a target of 172 runs. When the English team came out to chase this target given by India, they were all out for just 103 runs in 16.4 overs in front of the brilliant bowling of the Indian team. So now after England’s crushing defeat in the semi-final match, a big statement has come from the team’s former captain Michael Vaughan. He has scolded the English team and said that bowling at the time of the toss was a strange decision. Michael Vaughan lashed out at England team Let us tell you that on England’s crushing defeat against India, Michael Vaughan, in one of his columns written in The Telegraph, said – I believe that in these circumstances, England’s issues are deeper than just the coach and captain. They made some mistakes in the match, the decision to bowl after winning the toss was a strange decision. I am sure that bad weather played an important role in the match. Vaughan further said- But on a dry pitch you might have preferred to bat first against India’s spin bowlers. Perhaps England got stuck in their own plan, as they had defeated India while chasing the target on the Adelaide Oval ground two years ago. Also, let us tell you that after defeating England, now Team India is going to face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final match on June 29. This match between the two teams will be played at Kingston Oval ground in Barbados.
