Vaughan happy to play in Zimbabwe if backed by ECB.
(From Agence France Presse)
Michael Vaughan, who scored the most Test runs in 2002, said he has no problem playing in Zimbabwe in February if the England and Wales Cricket Board insists the World Cup match must take place there.
The International Cricket Council have said they will not rearrange the game elsewhere with South Africa the obvious place as the vast majority of fixtures for the February 8 to March 23 tournament go ahead in that country.
Vaughan is looking to his employers to make the decision and believes his team-mates feel the same way about the February 13 match.
"We will be happy to do whatever the ECB decide," Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 Live. "As a player who's been in Australia for two and a half months we have not had much chance to read what's been said about the game," added Vaughan.
"If the ECB tell us to go we will go. It is up to the ICC, the ECB and theGovernment to tell us what to do."
