National selector Geoff Miller will reveal the decision at Lord's at the same time the 15-man squad to take part in the £10million Stanford challenge and seven one-day internationals in India is announced.

"What I would do is not give Michael Vaughan a central contract but I would take him on the tours of India and West Indies," former England colleague Graham Thorpe, speaking at the npower Village Cup final, said.

"Both Michael Vaughan himself and the captain would have to know that he could do it still.

"I still think he is a good enough player but there are a few unknowns to the situation.

"It might be that he turns around at some stage and says he cannot do it any more.

"There are questions that need to be answered; let's see what he is like without the captaincy; let's see if he can flourish as a batsman again.

"If he was in good form you would want him playing against Australia next year.

"It is worth knowing whether he has the drive, hunger and desire to score those kind of runs once more."

Former captain Vaughan, 33, is expected to be among the dozen rewarded with 12-month central contracts and has been unequivocal in his desire to extend his international career since quitting in the aftermath of Test series defeat to the South Africans last month.
