Michael Vaughan has taken a u-turn against his statement of blocking Wasim Jaffer on social media. During his recent interview with a cricket website, Vaughan picked Jaffer as one former cricketer that he wants to block on Twitter. Vaughan said he will not block any player who got out against his filthy off-spin.
Former cricketers Michael Vaughan and Wasim Jaffer have been involved in Twitter banter for a long time now. The battle started when Michael Vaughan predicted Australia will thrash India by 4-0 in the Test series. However, India made a stunning comeback in the series to win it by 2-1 despite losing the first Test.

India, then, locked horns against England in the home series and came victorious by defeating the visitors by 3-1 after conceding the first Test in Chennai. Both former players have been engaged in the Twitter war since then and Jaffer seems to be winning the majority of those arguments.
Jaffer was at his humorous best when he replied to this comment by Vaughan. He wrote, “Me and my boys after knowing Michael Vaughan wants to block me.” He also put a picture of India’s Test series win in England back in 2007 when Vaughan was leading England’s Test team.

However, Vaughan tried to shut Jaffer with his latest response. He wrote, “I would never do that Wasim … No player that got out to my filthy off-spin will ever be blocked.” Vaughan had dismissed Jaffer once back in 2002 during Lord’s Test between these two teams. Ajit Agarkar scored a fine hundred in that game but wasn’t able to save his team from defeat.
