Salman Butt has criticised Michael Vaughan for bringing up the 2010 spot-fixing scandal, saying the previous England captain suffers from ‘mental constipation’ which doesn’t permit him to maneuver ahead. Butt alongside two Pakistan bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammd Amir was discovered responsible of indulging in spot-fixing through the 2010 England tour.
Vaughan was reacting after Butt had thrashed his comparability between Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson. In an interview, Vaughan had stated as a result of individuals need to get extra clicks, likes and keep away from being pelted on social media, they at all times charge Kohli as the most effective batter of the present period.
“I don’t want to get into the details of it,” Butt stated in a video on his YouTube channel on Sunday. “He (Vaughan) picked it in the wrong context. There is no justification for a reaction like this. This is a below average, below the belt (remark). He can talk about this 100 times. Constipation is an illness. Some people have mental constipation. They live in the past, cannot move forward. It doesn’t matter.”
Butt claimed Vaughan has taken the dialogue into a totally totally different path. “We were talking about two great players. There was no need to take this into a different direction. Wherever he wishes he can go. He can talk about that year (2010) as much he wants to,” he stated.
“If he has a logical, statistical-based presentation, then speak. He should have defied my argument with logic. But he chose to go below the belt, it’s fine. That defines you. Let me do that. Nobody will get affected by this,” he added.
In an earlier video, Butt had stated Vaughan makes such comparisons solely to remain within the limelight. “Virat has 70 international tons at the moment, no other batsman from this era has that many. He has dominated batting charts for a long time because his performances have been outstanding. So I don’t understand why is there a need to draw comparisons,” he stated.
