Having spent most of his youth focused on batting, Vaughan’s success with the ball was somewhat unexpected, the highlight being match figures of 11-140 against eventual County Championship winners Surrey last September.<\/p>\n
Vaughan then started 2025 by taking 6-19 in the Youth Test against South Africa, which England Under-19s won by 10 wickets.<\/p>\n
Those are remarkable feats considering he turned to bowling spin out of boredom during the Covid-19 lockdown, having only bowled seam previously.<\/p>\n
“It definitely took me by surprise,” said Vaughan.<\/p>\n
“I would still probably say I’m more of a batter, but I will keep working hard at both and it’s just about managing my expectations again. <\/p>\n
“I haven’t been bowling for very long, I only started it properly in my back garden during lockdown – whereas I’ve been batting for as long as I can remember.”<\/p>\n
Vaughan accepts his family gave him a “great opportunity” to attend Millfield School and pursue his cricketing dream, but he is extremely driven to make the most of it.<\/p>\n
While he is not drawn on comparisons to his dad’s batting and captaincy, Vaughan is confident elsewhere.<\/p>\n
“I’m pretty sure I’m a better off-spinner than him,” he added. “And I’m definitely a better fielder.” <\/p>\n
A lot has changed in the 20 years since one of cricket’s greatest Test series. But with a Vaughan and a Flintoff emerging as two of the country’s most exciting talents, it feels like a full-circle moment is upon us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
