Daily Mail: Michael Vaughan will hold talks with the BBC to join commentary team

Story from Daily Mail:

Michael Vaughan's advisors will hold talks with the BBC this week, with the broadcaster hoping to reinstate him on their commentary team in time for The Ashes.

Vaughan, who was this week cleared of allegations of racism in the Azeem Rafiq saga, is expected to spend time weighing up his options rather than commit to the BBC’s offer.

Rafiq, the former Yorkshire player, claimed that in 2009, Vaughan, his captain, had told four Asian players: ‘There are too many of you lot, we need to have a word about that.'

The former England captain’s reputation was restored last week when a Cricket Discipline Commission found that the allegation was ‘not proved’.

The Telegraph reported that BBC Sport now wants Vaughan to return to his radio commentary role with Test Match Special for England’s summer series against Australia. Vaughan, 48, had been due to travel to India to cover the Indian Premier League.

A BBC spokesperson said the corporation noted the Discipline Commission’s findings, adding: ‘Michael is not currently under contract with the BBC, although we have remained in touch with him throughout the process.

'At this stage, we won’t be commenting further.’
