Cape Town, December 02: England have little choice but to turn to the likes of Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen due to the failings of the domestic system, according to Michael Vaughan.
The former England captain recently stirred up a storm by accusing Trott, born and raised in Cape Town, of celebrating with South African players in the wake of their series win in England last year. Vaughan wrote in his autobiography that it was a “sad day for English cricket” and that the incident “hit home what English cricket has become like”.
Vaughan yesterday said that he has no individual issues with Trott and his ilk playing for England – rather the fault lies with the development of home-grown players, leaving the selectors with little choice but to turn to naturalised imports.
