Vaughan set to hang boots

Julian Guyer

London, June 28: Former England captain Michael Vaughan is set to announce his retirement from cricket on Tuesday.The Yorkshire batsman’s future has been the subject of speculation ever since he was left out of England’s Ashes training squad last week.

Local media reports on Sunday said his retirement was imminent and the England and Wales Cricket Board subsequently announced the 34-year-old Vaughan would hold a press conference at Edgbaston on Tuesday. England are due to play Warwickshire in an Ashes warm-up match there on Wednesday.

It was at Edgbaston that Vaughan led England to a nailbiting two-run win over Australia four years ago. It was a victory that helped England to a 2-1 Test series win over their oldest rivals and a first Ashes campaign victory since 1986/87.

That series was the high point of Vaughan’s time in charge of England, with a persistent knee injury leaving him on the sidelines for months at a time.

His form as a batsman — which had seen touch the realms of greatness during the 2002/03 tour of Australia — also began to decline. He resigned the England captaincy in tears in August last year after the home series against South Africa was lost and has not played for England since.
