The former England captain's future has been the subject of speculation since he was left out of England's 16-man Ashes training squad last week.

The 34-year-old, who memorably led England to victory over Australia four years ago, had hoped to feature in the side attempting to regain the urn this summer but he has been unable to reclaim his place since stepping down as skipper last year and his form for county side Yorkshire this season has not warranted inclusion.

Reports Vaughan's retirement could be imminent started to emerge on Saturday night and the news was given credence when the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed an announcement would be made on Tuesday.

Vaughan met with Yorkshire officials to discuss the matter on Sunday morning but is centrally contracted by the ECB and still has issues to resolve with the governing body.

Yorkshire chief executive Stewart Regan said: "Without going over old ground, Michael had set his stall on being picked for the Ashes Tests.

"That was what we and Michael were focused on. We agreed with the ECB we would give Michael every opportunity to get selected for the Ashes squad.

"When that didn't happen I think it then opened up a different set of thought processes over what happens next.

"He will discuss his future with his employers on Monday and a press conference will be held on Tuesday."
