Vaughan, who has missed his country's previous 15 Test matches due to other injuries, has suffered an undisplaced fracture of his right middle finger after being struck by a delivery from Hampshire's Australian seamer Stuart Clark.

The injury is likely to keep Vaughan out for three to four weeks, making him a near-certainty to miss out for the first Test at Lord's and also for the second Test on his home Headingley ground starting on May 25.

Yorkshire physio Scott McAllister told the Yorkshire Post: "My first reaction was that it wasn't a serious problem, but results from the hospital show that he has suffered a fractured finger.

"It's desperately bad luck for Michael after the succession of problems he's had to contend with, and we will be monitoring his progress over the next few days.

"It looks like he might be out for three to four weeks, but it's too early to say with absolute certainty how long he will be out for."

Vaughan recovered from a hamstring problem in time to play for England in their disappointing World Cup campaign where he once again failed to convince as a one-day batsman. Prior to that he was sidelined by a string of career-threatening knee injuries.
