LONDON, April 17: Michael Vaughan is set to continue as England's Test and one-day captain when he eventually returns from a knee injury, according to chairman of selectors David Graveney.

Vaughan missed the whole of England's international series in India when his longstanding knee problem flared up again and that led to suggestions the 31-year-old could stand down from limited overs cricket in order to extend his Test career.

The Yorkshire batsman himself was the beneficiary of such an arrangement when he captained the one-day team after Nasser Hussain quit leading England in the shorter form of the game after the 2003 World Cup, a move that paved the way for Vaughan to also take over as Test captain later that year.

However, Graveney said fresh talk about two permanent captains was not something on his agenda or that of England coach Duncan Fletcher.—AFP
