England Former Skipper Michael Vaughan confirms immediate retirement from Cricket. He has confirmed at a press conference in Edgbaston that he is to retire from all forms of professional cricket with immediate effect. Michael Vaughan was the most successful captain for England and England has won the Ashes series under his captaincy but he has not played for his country since tearfully resigning the captaincy in August during the home series loss to South Africa.

Some of the achivements under his captaincy like first Ashes victory against Australia for 18 years in 2005; a first Test series win in South Africa for forty years – also in 2005 - and presiding over eight consecutive Test wins in 2004. Vaughan scored 5,719 Test runs in 82 matches at an average of 41.44 with 18 hundreds and a best of 197 against India at Trent Bridge in 2002.
