Michael Vaughan took it to Twitter to express the delight over the success of The Hundred tournament, a new format in the UK. He added that the tournament will help the growth of women’s cricket immensely and was satisfied that the tournament had a lot of success despite the critics having a lot of days. He also posted on Facebook on the usage of tactical time out in Hundred being very good and it can be taken to the Test format also.

“International coaches might not have the advantage of having a tactical time-out like we see in the Hundred – an innovation which I would actually welcome in the Test game – but there are still ways of intervening,” he posted on his Facebook page.
