BRIDGETOWN, March 15: England cricket captain Michael Vaughan, who pulled out of the current tour of India with a knee injury, is relaxing on vacation in Barbados but says he will soon be ready to get back into the game.

“It is always disappointing to miss such an important trip, but the knee wasn’t right,” he said on Tuesday as he visited the Three Ws Oval to watch England ‘A’ take on the West Indies ‘A’ team.

“It’s come to a stage where we need to get it right to make sure that we return stronger into the summer season and hopefully into the Ashes and the World Cup back here next year.”

He said he will return to England on Thursday to start his rehabilitation programme.—AP
