Vaughan misses out on award
12 April 2012
England's Michael Vaughan was on Friday overlooked for the inaugural International Cricket Council captain of the year award.
The title, the first of the annual ceremony in Mumbai, was claimed by Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene.
India's Rahul Dravid and Australia's Ricky Ponting were also nominated but all were surprisingly pipped by Jayawardene, who only took over the captaincy for the tour of England this year.
Although Vaughan had been sidelined through injury for the past 11 months, he was fancied for the award as the qualification period included the final four Tests of the 2005 Ashes.
