Former England captain set to retire
Cricket, 12:02, June 28, 2009 ,
Former England captain Michael Vaughan is reportedly set to announce his retirement from first class cricket on Sunday evening.
The 34-year-old is not in the Yorkshire squad that is due to face Derbyshire at Headingley in the final game of their Twenty20 Cup group this afternoon.
And BBC Sport claims Vaughan, who led England to Ashes success against Australia in 2005, will reveal his intentions to quit the game mainly due to his problematic right-knee injury.
Despite being England's most successful Test captain, Vaughan's hopes of returning to the side for this summer's Ashes series, which starts at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on July 8, were virtually over when he was left out of a 16-man training squad.
