A journalist from Pakistan who slammed former English cricketer Michael Vaughan for his comment on Pakistan cricket’s miserable state has now apologised for his criticism. Farid Khan took to ‘X’ to apologise for his harsh words while Vaughan shared the video and wrote ‘apology accepted’.
“Hey, Michael Vaughan. I’m sorry, I apologize! You were right and I’m embarrassed. England players should have played IPL playoffs and final. Even a Ranji Trophy team could defeat us, Delhi Capitals or Punjab Kings will win one-sided against this Pakistan team. I’m worried about our matches vs Canada & USA in the World Cup. This is the worst period on Pakistan cricket in years,” Farid captioned a video of his apologising to Vaughan on X.
Vaughan was quick to accept Farid’s apology, as he wrote: “Apology accepted“.
Pakistan not ideal opponents ahead of T20 World Cup?
Just a few days prior, Farid had publicly criticized Vaughan for his assertion that playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) rather than against Pakistan would have been a better way for England’s players to get ready for the T20 World Cup.

Although the criticism towards Pakistan cricket seemed a bit harsh at the time, Vaughan was proven right. England bulldozed past Pakistan 2-0 in the series with the other two games being washed away by rain.
Pakistan struggling in T20Is for past months
Pakistan have been enduring a hard few months. They drew a series against a depleted New Zealand, won against Ireland after losing the first game, and couldn’t win a single match against England. With T20 World Cup starting, Pakistan would be desperate to turn their fortunes around.
