Vaughan Out With Torn Hamstring

Last updated: 13/03/2008 17:03

England captain Michael Vaughan will miss Friday's game against Australia in Brisbane with a torn hamstring.

 

He was hurt in the win over New Zealand and discovered the results of a scan he had in Hobart on Wednesday.

 

It is still unclear how long the grade one tear will sideline the 32-year-old and a reassessment is due to take place in the next 48 hours.

 

England fly to Brisbane on Wednesday ahead of the third match in the triangular series on Friday.

 

Spekaing before the scan, Vaughan said of his chances of facing Australia: "If I am honest, at the minute it is extremely doubtful. I've not had a hamstring injury before and it is new to me in that I don't know how they react overnight or what it will be like getting on a plane."

 

Vaughan clutched the back of his left leg in pain after running round from backward point and turning sharply during New Zealand's innings.

 

The 32-year-old required a runner soon after coming out to bat and made 17 as England clinched a three-wicket win - their first victory during the tour of Australia.

 

He was playing only his second one-day international after surgery to solve career-threatening problems on his right knee.

 

The Yorkshire star was forced to return home early from the winter tours of Pakistan and India in 2005/6.
