Jaffer’s banter with Vaughan that he had with the former England skipper has taken another twist again after the former replied to his post on X, formerly called Twitter, with yet another witty response.
Vaughan called for Test cricket to have two divisions and fairer distribution of riches among Test-playing countries on his post on X in which Jaffer responded.
In a hilarious comeback, Jaffer posted a picture of the World Test Championship 2024-25 table with England at the bottom as usual, displaying his memorable sense of humor on social media.
Jaffer wrote, “Timing is everything. And Michael is a wise man who understands that. That’s why he didn’t tweet this a month ago when the WTC table looked like this”.

After this loss, England’s next Test matches were at home where they managed to win both matches against West Indies and Sri Lanka.
England’s team is preparing for its final game against Sri Lanka at The Oval, London on September 6. Even though the home side does not have its best players in Ben Stokes (captain), Zak Crawley and Mark Wood because of their respective injuries, they would still be highly favored to win the match.
