Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has mocked Pakistan for their lackluster performance in the second T20 international against Jos Buttler's team.

The hosts defeated Pakistan by 23 runs in the second T20 International in Birmingham, but the first T20 washed out. Vaughan thinks that some of those players would have been better suited participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs instead of playing the Pakistan series.

"I think you’re going to miss the trick by sending all their players home. You know, I think Will Jacks, Phil Salt, Jos Butler, in particular, playing in the IPL in the eliminators, pressure, crowd, expectation. I would argue that playing here is better preparation than playing a T20 game against Pakistan," Vaughan said on ‘The Club Prairie Fire’ podcast.

“I’m all for international cricket, but now and again, this tournament in particular, it’s so exposed to pressure. These players are under a huge amount of pressure from fans, owners, and social media. It’s massive. I just felt particularly those two, and Butler, probably not as much, but I still think he could have stayed here,” Vaughan added.

“But Will Jacks and Phil Salt, I think they’d have been better prepared staying here playing in the IPL, then going back to head and let’s play a game,” Vaughan concluded.
