Vaughan upbeat about India tour


England captain Michael Vaughan, who had knee surgery four weeks ago, remained upbeat about his fitness prospects on the run-up to the tour of India which starts next month.

Vaughan will need further medical tests before the squad assemble on February 12 for the trip which includes three Tests and seven one-day internationals.

Vaughan returned early from the pre-Christmas trip to Pakistan to have surgery on the injured right knee which forced him out of the opening-Test defeat in Multan. But he insists everything has been going well in training.

"The knee is good and it's gone quite well since the operation four weeks ago," said Vaughan during and exclusive webchat with SunOnline.
