Whether Vaughan should continue in one-day internationals has been a topic for discussion since England's poor showing at the recent World Cup.

Yorkshire batsman Vaughan, 32, has yet to score a century in his 86 one-day international appearances and, although England's most successful Test skipper has spoken out against a split captaincy, he has said he is unlikely to be available come the 2011 World Cup in Asia.

England are due to announce Friday their squad for the upcoming Twenty20 matches and three one-day internationals against West Indies.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain, replaced by Vaughan as one-day skipper after the 2003 World Cup in southern Africa, before Vaughan succeeded him as Test captain in the subsequent home season, told Sky Sports News on Monday: "I personally would like Michael Vaughan's body looked after.

"He has been an exceptional Test match captain but if he plays in all the one-dayers I don't think he will last.

All-rounder Paul Collingwood has been touted as England's new one-day captain with star batsman Kevin Pietersen also mentioned as a possible successor to Vaughan in the shorter form of the game.

Hussain added: "England need to move in a positive and energetic direction in one-day cricket and I think Paul (Collingwood) would be a good choice."

Vaughan had led England in 60 one-day internationals, winning 32 and losing 22, but has struggled to convince as a top-order batsman with a meagre average of 27.15. By contrast, he averages 43.44 in Tests.

During the World Cup in the Caribbean, Vaughan scored just 130 runs in England's first eight matches of the tournament before hitting 79 in their final, 'dead', fixture against hosts West Indies in Barbados where neither side had a chance of reaching the semi-finals.

Andrew Flintoff, currently injured, was stripped of the vice-captaincy after a late night drinking session following England's opening match defeat against New Zealand in St Lucia culminated in the all-rounder being found in a pedalo in the early hours of the subsequent morning.

Vaughan returned to Test cricket after 18 months out injured, mainly as a result of a longstanding knee problem, with a hundred on his Headingley home ground during England's innings win in May's second Test against West Indies.

England's 2-0 series clinching victory in the third Test at Old Trafford completed a week ago saw Vaughan become his country's most successful Test captain with 21 wins in 35 matches, breaking the record of Peter May.
