Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian Test opener, is noted for his caustic and scathing comments on X, particularly about England cricketers.

Jaffer and former England captain Michael Vaughan have a love-hate relationship and never miss an opportunity to criticize each other about their respective cricket teams' performances.

Recently, an English cricket website, Wisden, shared a post on their social media handle, alleging that the schedule of the ICC T20 World Cup knockout stage has been made to give Team India the edge. This was due to the timing of the semi-finals of the tournament.

The report said that Team India is aware of their semi-final venue (Guyana), and that the match is set to begin at 8 PM IST on June 27, which is prime time for India, whereas the first semi-final begins at 6 AM IST on June 26 in Trinidad.

Despite the fact that the final is scheduled for June 29, the website claims that the second semi-final does not have a reserve day, although the first semi-final does.

Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer simply gave the example of England, who have not qualified for a single WTC final, despite the first two editions of the summit clash being played in England.

"It's one thing to know where your SF will be played, it's another thing to qualify for it. For example WTC Final have always been held in England but England have never qualified. #T20WorldCup,” Jaffer posted.
