Vaughan dropped for India tour

The ECB has confirmed that Michael Vaughan won’t be selected for the Test series in India, the squad for which will be announced on Monday.

Vaughan, who was awarded a central contract earlier this month, stood down as captain after the penultimate Test of the summer and chose to miss the last match at The Oval. He had been looking to regain his form playing for Yorkshire, but in four Championship innings he managed only 41 runs.

“Michael has not been selected for the tour of India because his place in the Test squad cannot be justified based on recent form,” said national selector Geoff Miller. “Our view is that it will be to England’s benefit if he takes a break from international cricket in the period leading up to Christmas and spends time working on his game.
