London - Michael Vaughan has indicated he would be interested in taking on the newly created post of director of England cricket, provided he could have a significant influence.
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced the new position on Wednesday as Paul Downton lost his job as their managing director of cricket, with his current post also scrapped.
Vaughan, England's 2005 Ashes-winning captain, was immediately linked with the new role, with the recently installed ECB chief executive Tom Harrison eager to have Downton's successor concentrate solely on cricket performance rather than administration.
