Vaughan quits captaincy
August 4, 2008 LONDON (AFP) - Michael Vaughan on Sunday resigned as England cricket captain, saying it was both the hardest and the easiest decision he has made.
His decision follows Saturday's five-wicket defeat against South Africa in the third Test at Edgbaston, which gave the Proteas an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
It meant the 33-year-old had overseen three series losses against top-class opposition since returning from a career-threatening knee injury. "I've made the decision to stand down as England captain," a tearful Vaughan told a press conference.
