Aussies planning to pressure Vaughan

AUSTRALIA intend to fully examine Michael Vaughan’s fitness when England’s 2005 Ashes-winning captain returns to international cricket.

Vaughan leads his country for the first time in more than a year in tomorrow’s Twenty20 contest with the Australians at the SCG.

It will inevitably take the 32-year-old a couple of one-day matches to adjust to the intensity of the top level, after recovering from an injury to his right knee which almost finished his career.
