England national selector Geoff Miller has admitted that Michael Vaughan could visit India this winter - as part of the England performance squad.

It was announced on Saturday that Vaughan would not take part in the senior squad's tour of India this winter after he struggled to regain his form following his decision to step down as England captain.

But Miller told Sky Sports News: "It is a possibility that he could link up with the performance squad, we could use that. There's a lot of opportunities for him to play."

He continued: "It's all about winning matches and sessions and we'll look after Vaughan as much as we can. We could look at that or send him out somewhere in the world.

"We see him as an integral part of our plans. There's lots of cricket coming up. He's played for England for 10 years and deserves a bit of a break.

"Andrew Strauss came back and did well (after a break) and Vaughan will hopefully do that as well."
