The 33-year-old resigned the national captaincy in August and it was confirmed last week he would not be picked for the senior squad's tour to the sub-continent after struggling to regain his form.

Vaughan wrote in the Sunday Telegraph: "I'm going to dedicate the next year to getting back into the England team."

Vaughan is taking a three-month break from Test cricket but could tour with England's second string in a bid to force his way back into the team for the Test series in the West Indies early next year.

He continued: "I'm giving myself until November 10 to decide my best way back. To be the best player I can be my decision making has to be spot-on, and I felt recently I was making some wrong decisions as captain and a batsman.

"The hunger is still there all right - I'm mad to get back into the England team.

"The next opportunity I get to establish myself in the England side will probably be my last, so if and when I do get back, I'll have to score runs immediately.

"To get selected I'll have to make big, consistent runs first - and at this stage, the England Lions trip to India pre-Christmas would probably be favourite, to see if I can force my way into the team to go to the West Indies before the Ashes."
