MICHAEL Vaughan will meet with Yorkshire to discuss his future this morning amid reports he is set to retire.

The former England captain, who stood down from his post last year, missed out on selection for the Ashes squad last week prompting suggestions today he is on the verge of retiring.

Vaughan - who is contracted to the England and Wales Cricket Board - could make his final first class appearance in today's Twenty20 Cup clash against Derbyshire at Headingley.

It is also possible he could still play some part for his county in one-day games or even continue playing until the end of the season - though that looks unlikely.

An announcement about the 34-year-olds' future is likely to be made this afternoon.

Vaughan, who resigned as England captain last August in a tearful press conference, had vowed to earn a recall to the side through sheer weight of domestic runs - and set his sights on the Test series against Australia.

But having started the season as a live contender for the number three slot, the Yorkshire batsman saw Ravi Bopara establish himself in the side with three consecutive hundreds against the West Indies.

At the same time, Vaughan endured a lean spell in county cricket - a run which effectively ruled the Salford-born batsman out of the selectors plans.
