A sixth eye
On 20 November 2024, Japan hosted a gathering of senior enlisted members from the Five Eyes intelligence partnership in Tokyo.
English cricket commentator and former cricketer Michael Vaughan took a dig at cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar after the latter included India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in his predicted XI for the semi-finals against New Zealand.

Notably, Manjrekar was indulged in a Twitter spat recently with Jadeja when the former called Jadeja a “bits and pieces player” and Jadeja lashed out at him calling his comment as “verbal diarrhoea” in a tweet.
Replying to Manjrekar’s prediction XI tweet, Vaughan said, “I see you have picked that bits and pieces cricketer !!!”

To this the Manjrekar replied, “‘Predicted’ my dear Vaughan…not ‘my’ team.”
