Former England captain Michael Vaughan has said that other England cricketers would be jealous of Peterson getting a huge contract in the IPL. Petersen was awarded a contract worth Rs 4.5 crore by the Bangalore team in the 2009 IPL auction. However, the amount caused controversy among his fellow cricketers.
"Most players at the time would deny my point, but I think the root cause of the rift between Peterson and the rest of the team was his IPL contract," said Michael Vaughan. Notably, there was a heated argument between Peterson and his then-captain Andrew Strauss. The England and Wales Cricket Board did not send its players to play in the IPL. While Peterson was in his favor, this led to a Cold War between him and Strauss and eventually a feud between them for various reasons. Peterson's career then came to an end.
Peterson argued that if we play in the IPL, the team for ODIs will be built. While some players believe that, he is only interested in making money. This was followed by Kevin Pietersen v. The situation was like the rest of England cricketers.
