Vaughan’s first piece as Telegraph columnist

By Will last year, at the start of October Add your comment below

Well, here’s his first piece as a Daily Telegraph columnist. He’s “mad” for getting back into the England team, and has outlined his path to hopefully returning for the Ashes.

There are some obvious lines about tiredness, the Pattinson selection and so on, but overall it’s a worthy read. In particular, on Pietersen’s first tour as England captain:

It will be the same in India. The first tour is the hard part for an England captain. You don’t get home conditions, and you have 15 players to manage and get ready to play. I couldn’t have asked for more help as captain – the ECB were good at taking the pressure off, but pressure is part of the job. The England captains who will last are the ones with steely determination to prove people wrong.
