DURBAN, Feb 24: England World Cup batsman Michael Vaughan was given a boost on Monday after a scan on his strained right calf showed no major damage.
Vaughan, who scored a half-century in England’s Group ‘A’ win over Pakistan on Saturday but did not field, is expected to train on Tuesday.
If there is no reaction he should be available to play against India on Wednesday in Durban, in a game which is likely to decide whether Nasser Hussain’s team qualify for the Super Six stage.
Vaughan missed a Test series in Pakistan at the end of 2000 with a torn right calf muscle. The right-hander’s career has been blighted by a string of injuries.—Reuters
