BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

They need to find another captain. They've lost Michael Vaughan, then Paul Collingwood gave up the job - now Kevin. It's a bit of a poisoned chalice.

Quotes from articles mentioning Michael Vaughan
He will keep on earning his keep by getting ready to play for England. There is a lot of cricket to be played and we didn't want to lose that experience.

Dimitri Mascarenhas has performed well for England before in the shorter form of the game and we feel that his experience will serve the team well in the Caribbean. Steven Davies had an excellent season for Worcestershire in both forms of cricket and is a young player of tremendous promise.

Michael Vaughan has not yet had an opportunity to prove his form in order to be considered for selection for the Test side
was said
in OneIndia
Michael's passionate about playing for England, but he understands where we're coming from ... He feels he will get himself ready by doing his pre-season with Yorkshire and then make a push for selection by the early part of the season. Knowing Michael and what he is capable of doing, I know he'll put pressure on the selectors to get in that Ashes side and that is something we're looking forward to. We like pressure of selection.
