After winning the Ashes on home soil, England recently lost both their Test and one-day series in Pakistan.

That tour saw England dogged by a succession of injuries with Vaughan returning home with a knee problem and spinner Ashley Giles forced out because of a damaged hip.

Batsman Kevin Pietersen (rib) and all-rounder Andrew Flintoff (ankle) added to England's list of injury woes.

Looking ahead to the India tour, Vaughan told Friday's edition of the Sun newspaper: "We have to make sure we get everyone back as quickly as possible and hit India with a fully-fit squad.

"In the last couple of years we've been very successful because we've had a settled team. We used only 12 players in five matches during the Ashes.

"As soon as you start losing one or two components in the side, it's bound to unsettle you."

However, Vaughan praised Pakistan's performance. "Losing in Pakistan was a blow but you must give them a lot of credit. They bowled fantastically well - Shoaib Akhtar proved a lot of people wrong - and Inzamam batted brilliantly.

"They put us under a lot of pressure and we just weren't at our best," the Yorkshire batsman added.

"The most important thing is we learn from our failures by the time we get to India."

England are due to arrive in Mumbai on February 13 and are set to play two warm-up matches before the first Test of a three-match series starts at Nagpur on March 1.

After the Test series, England and India are also due to play seven one-day internationals with the first match in Delhi on March 28.
