Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that the Ashes series between England and Australia is not the biggest rivalry in world cricket. He believes that the rivalry between India and Pakistan is the biggest one as well. Notably, Australia has recently won the Ashes 2021-22 series by 4-0 against England.

On the other hand, arch-rivals India and Pakistan took on each other in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, where Pakistan won the very first match against India. Meanwhile, the ICC has announced the fixtures for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 and once again both the arch-rivals will take on each other on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

India, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh have all been added to Group 2 of the tournament and the winner of Group B and runner-up of Group A will also join the group as well. And, Michael Vaughan has stated that he is looking forward to seeing how Rohit Sharma led the Indian team will perform in the upcoming T20 World Cup match against Pakistan. However, Virat Kohli has stepped down as India’s T20I captain after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 and Rohit Sharma has been named as the new white-ball captain as well.

“I think, we being England and Australia ex-players, we all kind of think of the Ashes as the biggest game in world cricket, it’s not! India vs Pakistan is the biggest game. Looking forward to Rohit Sharma being the captain, probably the first time he’s going to be under real pressure. It’s going to be an epic event,” Michael Vaughan said while speaking to Star Sports.
