Vaughan vows to earn England place back
Related Articles
31 January 2008
The former captain was awarded a central contract earlier this year, but has not played for England since resigning the captaincy in August.
Vaughan wrote in his Daily Telegraph column: "I still feel I am mentally fresh and dangerous as a player but I understand the decision not to pick me. Now I just want to bide my time and enjoy a proper, settled pre-season with Yorkshire. Preparing for the summer and scoring runs at the start of the season is the best way for me to force my way back into the England side."
Vaughan vowed to put Yorkshire first next year, and revealed he has turned down an offer to join the Lions in New Zealand in order to travel to Abu Dhabi with Yorkshire.
"I have to knuckle down with (Yorkshire) and start the season as well as I can," he wrote.
"If that happens then I will put guys under pressure and still have the chance to play for England again, something that I dearly would like to do during an Ashes summer."
