Vaughan Renews Criticism of Slow Over-Rates
The third Test between India and England at Lord's has been marred by persistent slow over-rates, with both teams losing a combined 22-23 overs over the first two days. Former England captain Michael Vaughan criticized the ICC's use of fines for slow over-rates, arguing they are ineffective due to players' wealth. Vaughan called for mandatory completion of the full 90 overs each day, as enforced on the fifth day of Tests, to boost the pace and appeal of the format. He believes this would reduce unnecessary delays and drinks breaks. Vaughan's remarks have reignited debate about solutions to slow over-rates, as both teams have repeatedly failed to meet the quotas in the ongoing series. The issue has raised concerns about maintaining Test cricket's appeal and integrity amid changing player attitudes and scheduling demands.
