Vaughan prepared for one-day axe
Michael Vaughan faces the media
Vaughan's one-day record as both batsman and captain is poor
Michael Vaughan says he does not expect to be picked for England's one-day squad after resigning as captain.

Vaughan captained England's Test team to a seven-wicket win over the West Indies on Tuesday, 24 hours after stepping down as one-day skipper.

Vaughan said: "The best thing for the team is for me not to play for a while.

"I certainly don't expect to be picked, because a new captain would find it very difficult captaining me a week after I've captained him in a Test."

England name their squad for a one-day and Twenty20 series against the West Indies this Friday, with Paul Collingwood the favourite to take over as captain.

Vaughan said: "If my body's fine and if I'm playing well then who's to say I won't come back into the one-day series - but I know I have to go away and play very, very well because my one-day record is not that good."

Vaughan, who took over as one-day captain in 2003, had previously said that having separate captains for the Test and one-day teams would cause problems.

He said: "I know I said split captaincy probably wouldn't work but if it's going to work it's going to work with someone like me because I'm pretty chilled.

"I do it in a different manner to a lot of other people and I'm very committed to continuing as the Test captain as long as the team want me.

"I don't have any worries about the decision I've made because I believe it's the right thing for the English game and for English cricket to move forward."
