Vaughan will continue to skipper the Test side, with a decision about his one-day successor to be made when England's squad for the NatWest Series is announced this Friday.

He said: "I reached this decision some time ago. But it is not my intention to retire from one-day internationals."

Vaughan's suitability to lead the one-day side building towards the 2011 World Cup in Asia has come under increasing scrutiny after failing to score a century in 86 one-day international appearances.

But despite a miserable World Cup campaign, Vaughan has insisted he does not believe separate captains for England's Test and one-day sides will work and announced tonight he was stepping down from the post he has held since 2003.

The 32-year-old Yorkshire batsman added: "Since our disappointing performances in the World Cup, I have been giving careful consideration as to what is the best way forward for the England one-day team and my own role within the side.

"I feel it is important to make my intentions clear now. Our priority is to build a one-day squad able to compete strongly at the next World Cup and I firmly believe that the interests of the team will be best served if I step down and allow another player to gain additional experience of captaincy in the one-day international arena.

"I am committed to continuing as England's Test captain for as long as I can be successful in the role. I enjoy the job and I also believe that I will be able to form a strong working relationship with whoever is appointed to the one-day captaincy."

Durham all-rounder Paul Collingwood is favourite to succeed Vaughan as skipper of the one-day team, although Kevin Pietersen may also be considered for the post.

The squad for the two Twenty20 internationals and three one-day internationals against West Indies is due to be announced on Friday by chairman of selectors David Graveney, who will also confirm the identity of the new captain.
