Wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose believes England have not seen the last of Michael Vaughan on the international stage.

The Yorkshire batsman quit as England captain following the third Test defeat to South Africa and will now return to his county in a bid to regain his form.

However, Ambrose believes Vaughan - who had struggled for runs in the matches against New Zealand and South Africa - will bounce back to force his way back into the Test side.

"He is a class player, there is no question about that," Ambrose told Sky Sports News.

"He us having a bit of a slump but everyone goes through that - he has been through that in the past - and I am sure he will be back.

"I think he feels with this decision made he can now relax and enjoy his cricket again - and everybody plays better when they are enjoying themselves. I'm sure that we haven't heard the last of Michael Vaughan."

Leader

Vaughan's form with the bat had been under scrutiny for sometime, however his leadership skills were never in doubt - with Ambrose full of praise of his captaincy.

"I have played under a few captains but Vaughany is a brilliant leader, a born natural leader," he said.

"He has a very calm personality and makes everyone feel comfortable. I have only had a short time in the dressing room but he has made me feel at home.

"I've really enjoyed playing under him and hopefully he can go on and get some runs so we will be able to play with him again."
