London, Apr. 22 : Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has said that he is as hungry as ever to return to top flight cricket.

Anyone who thought Vaughan would be consumed by regret and self-doubt since tearfully resigning from the England captaincy last summer, needs to think again.

London, Apr. 22 : Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan is convinced that current incumbent Andrew Strauss will become an outstanding England captain, but has warned him not to read too much into or about Ashes fever.

"Andrew Strauss will be a great captain, with stability, consistency and maturity," The Sun quoted Vaughan, as saying.

He also said that people should not expect England to beat the Australians this summer as they did under him in 2005.

London, Mar. 21 : Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has demonstrated the art of batting off the pitch with a series of paintings created with cricket balls.

The "Artballing" series of paintings involved the batsman hitting paint covered balls at a stencil over a canvas to create a unique set of 60 images.

According to The Sun, each picture involves him recreating all the shots he played in his most notable innings. The balls hitting the canvas recreate images such as the cricketer holding up the Ashes from 2005.

London, Feb. 13 : Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has told the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) that they must not send him an SOS from the Caribbean.

He told SunSport: "I don't believe in SOS calls. If there are injuries, they have to select someone and if that is me, then great.

"But I'm a firm believer that you pick a squad for a tour, and then you stick by those men to get the job done. I know the characters in the dressing room and I know they'll be hurting badly from what happened last weekend. The one thing that is good for England is there is a quick turnaround. We start another Test now and know we can instantly put it right," he added.

London, Jan. 30 : Michael Vaughan is targeting the first summer Test match to make his England comeback.

The 34-year-old has not played international cricket since his emotional departure from captaincy last summer.

Overlooked for the current tour of West Indies, Vaughan knows that Ian Bell and Owais Shah are ahead of him in the pecking order, The Sun reported.

But the former world number one is staying optimistic that his chance will come.
