Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has called for an end to the 'witch hunt' into players' historical tweets. The ex-batsman, 46, branded the weaponising of old posts as 'utterly ridiculous' and 'no one' was offended by them when they were written. His old teammate Michael Atherton also weighed into the row and said the way bosses have handled it had led to a 'snooper's charter' on players' social media. The squad continues to be marred by the emerging of historical social media posts - with some containing unsavoury language. Atherton added ECB chief Tom Harrison's handling of the crisis had led to a 'snooper's charter' into players' old posts.
