Former cricketer Wasim Jaffer came up with a cheeky response to Michael Vaughan's dig at him over India's 2-0 series defeat to South Africa on home soil. With Vaughan tagging Jaffer and writing 'Don't worry, I know how you are feeling,' the retired Indian cricketer warned that the former captain may have to feel the same way for four more Tests, as England trail 1-0 in the Ashes.

Australia registered an eight-wicket win in Perth inside two days. With the next Test in Brisbane set to be a pink-ball affair, England find themselves under enormous pressure. India, meanwhile, crashed to a 2-0 series loss to South Africa, their second series sweep at home in nearly a year.

Responding to the 51-year-old's dig, Jaffer responded:

"My feeling will be over soon. You have to bear it for 4 more Tests Micheal."

Meanwhile, the 408-run defeat in the second Test in Guwahati proved to be India's heaviest in the format in terms of runs.

Following the opening Ashes Test, Vaughan strongly advised Ben Stokes and company to play a two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister's XI to give themselves the best chance to succeed in Brisbane. He told the BBC Test Match Special, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo:

"It's amateurish if they don't go and play now. What harm is playing two days of cricket with a pink ball under lights? They've played two days of cricket. They've been out in the field for, what, 70 [67.3] overs? Look, they're professional cricketers. I can't be so old-school to suggest that by playing cricket, you might get a little bit better… My method would be, you've got a pink-ball, two-day game: you go and grab it, go and take it. Play those two days, and make sure that you're giving yourself the best chance."

According to the latest development, England sent three squad members for the tour game in Canberra but the rest of them will fly to Brisbane.
