England captain Michael Vaughan, fresh from his century in the Headingley Carnegie Test match, will play for Yorkshire Phoenix in their Friends Provident Trophy game against Durham Dynamos at the same venue on Sunday.

But Vaughan is unavailable for Phoenix in their day-night Trophy clash with Derbyshire Phantoms at Derby tomorrow.

The fact that Vaughan and all of the England team have been released to their counties ahead of the third Test at Old Trafford next Thursday shows just how strong is the wind of change which has swept through the England camp since Peter Moores took over as coach from Duncan Fletcher.

As well as keeping his eye in for the Test match, Vaughan will have the opportunity on Sunday to show that he can also make runs at one-day level.

So far this season, he has played in just one Friends Provident Trophy match for Yorkshire, scoring 31 against Scotland in Edinburgh before being caught behind the wicket off paceman Craig Wright.

This week's Test win at Headingley was Vaughan's 20th as captain, equalling England's record set under Peter May almost 50 years ago.

Meanwhile, former Australian batsman Greg Blewett, who spent a season with Yorkshire in 1999, has announced his retirement from first class cricket in order to concentrate on coaching and commentating.

Blewett played alongside Darren Lehmann for South Australia and, when Lehmann was unavailable for the county in 1999 because of the World Cup in England, he recommended him to Yorkshire.

But, although he was an extremely popular figure in the dressing room, he was unable make the same impact that Lehmann had managed, and when he returned to Australia in mid-August to prepare for the Test series with Sri Lanka, he had scored only 655 Championship runs at an average of 31.19.

The only time he showed his true form was against Kent at Scarborough when he scored 98 in the first innings and followed it up with 190 in the second after Yorkshire had been forced to follow on.
