Michael Vaughan takes a dig at Pakistan team, questions Babar Azam's ability in T20I

The reigning champions, England, have advanced to the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 after defeating Namibia and benefiting from Australia's win against Scotland. 

England's final Group B match victory against Namibia was critical, but their advancement also depended on the result of the Australia vs. Scotland game.

With Scotland having the same points as England, the Jos Buttler-led side needed the Scottish team to lose to ensure their place in the Super 8s. Despite pre-game comments from Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood about wanting to eliminate England, Australia triumphed over Scotland, paving the way for England to move forward in the tournament.

After Buttler's side secured their spot, former English skipper Michael Vaughan took to social media to comment on the Pakistan team, who had already been knocked out of the tournament. Vaughan's tweet quickly attracted attention, adding a layer of intrigue to the tournament.

"Morning Nawaz .. looking forward to the Super 8s .. Are you?" Vaughan tweeted.

In a recent interview at a local sports platform, the former cricketer didn't stop there and went on to question the quality of Pakistan's T20 players, specifically targeting their captain, Babar Azam. 

"Honestly don't think they (Pakistan) have got many great T20 players. Babar Azam is exceptional, but would he make England's, Australia's, India's, or the West Indies' T20 teams? Probably not," Vaughan said.
