<p>Former England captain <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/t20-world-cup-2024-michael-vaughan-decries-icc-bias-in-scheduling-post-afghanistan-wc-semifinal-exit-23357767" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Michael Vaughan</strong></a> feels the ongoing T20 World Cup is &ldquo;purely set up for India&rdquo; and global body ICC should have been a bit more &ldquo;fairer&rdquo; to other countries as this is not a bilateral event organised solely for commercial gains.</p>
<p>Vaughan, 49, has often criticised the BCCI and India for flexing their muscle and financial might.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Well, it&rsquo;s their tournament, isn&rsquo;t it? Literally, it&rsquo;s that. You know that. They get to play whenever they want, they know exactly where their semi-final is, they play every single game in the morning so people can watch them at night, obviously in India on the television,&rdquo; Vaughan said during a podcast with Australian great Adam Gilchrist on the YouTube channel Club Prairie Fire.</p>

<p>He lashed out at the ICC for bowing down to India&rsquo;s financial might. &ldquo;I get that money is a big play in the world of cricket, and I get that in bilateral series, but you would think that when you get to a World Cup, the ICC should be a little bit fairer to everybody,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;When you get to a World Cup, there can&rsquo;t be sympathy or any kind of sway towards one team in this tournament, and this tournament is purely set up for India. As simple as that,&rdquo; Vaughan alleged.</p>
