Michael Vaughan's England cricket career not over yet

michaelvaughanMichael Vaughan's England cricket career is not over yet, according to chairman of selectors David Graveney.

Michael Vaughan, 31, has been ruled out of the Ashes series starting in November because his recovery from knee surgery is going to require at least six months but David Graveney said Vaughan's long-term future was not in doubt.

"There's no suggestion that Michael Vaughan's career is under major threat. The Ashes were always going to be a close call," David Graveney explained.

The England and Wales Cricket Board medical team issued a statement on Thursday saying Michael Vaughan's knee specialist had advised his rehabilitation be taken slowly so that the surgery could be given the best chance of success.

The statement added: "As a consequence, Michael has been ruled out of the Ashes Test series and will be targeting a return to cricket early in 2007 with a view to being available for selection for the World Cup."

Yorkshire chief executive Stewart Regan believes Michael Vaughan will return as a stronger person from his ordeal.
