The former England captain had been tipped for a return to the squad with one eye on next summer's Ashes series against Australia.

But Vaughan, 34, has had no opportunity to find his form during the winter and so Owais Shah will challenge Ian Bell for the number three position in the Caribbean.

England's 16-man squad includes Ryan Sidebottom, who missed the India series with a side injury, and Yorkshire's uncapped leg-spinner Adil Rashid.

National selector Geoff Miller insisted Vaughan, who was controversially awarded a central contract, remains part of England's plans for the 2009 Ashes series.

Miller said: "Michael Vaughan has not yet had an opportunity to prove his form in order to be considered for selection for the Test side. He does, however, remain very much in our thoughts as we continue to plan for the npower Ashes Test series against Australia.

"He will play a full part in Yorkshire's pre-season programme, which will include a tour to Dubai, and we will continue to monitor his form closely once the domestic season begins in April."

After the four-Test series, England will play five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 fixture.

Hampshire all-rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas has returned to the one-day squad, which also features the uncapped Worcestershire wicketkeeper Steven Davies for the first time.

Kent captain Robert Key will lead the 14-man England Lions squad to New Zealand, where they will play two four-day matches, two one-day games and a Twenty20 fixture against New Zealand A.
