"That's why he didn't tweet this a month ago" - Wasim Jaffer takes a dig at Michael Vaughan over suggestion of having two divisions in Test cricket

Former cricketers Wasim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan have entertained fans with their social media banter for a few years now. The two were back at it again, with Jaffer taking a dig at the ex-England captain's suggestion of having two divisions in Test cricket.

Taking to the microblogging platform X on Monday, September 2, Vaughan opined that two divisions of six teams should be introduced in Test cricket. Reacting to the cricketer-turned-commentator's views, Jaffer pointed out that Vaughan didn't make such comments a month ago when England were languishing at the bottom of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table.

Sharing a screenshot of the standings from a month ago, 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 WTC table looked like this."

It is worth mentioning that England climbed to the sixth place in the WTC points table following a 3-0 whitewash over the West Indies at home. With their wins in the first two games of their ongoing three-match Test series against Sri Lanka, the English side currently occupy the fourth place with 81 points from 15 matches and percentage points (PCT) of 45.00.

Two-time WTC runner-up India remain at the top of the points table. The Men in Blue have 74 points from nine games and a PCT of 68.52.
