It comes after England beat Zimbabwe<\/a> in a one-off text match, now entering the first series of the summer against an India side without a clutch of their top stars.<\/p>\n

Vaughan, 50, who was the Test captain between 2003 and 2008, is part of the new four-person presenting team at The Overlap and Betfair\u2019s new Stick to Cricket show.<\/p>\n

Alongside England favourites Sir Alistair Cook, Phil \u201cTuffers\u201d Tufnell and David \u201cBumble\u201d Lloyd, Vaughan will host the new weekly show which follows the Stick to Football podcast led by Gary Neville<\/a>, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott.<\/p>\n

\"Sir<\/p>\n

Sir Alistair Cook is also a part of the new Stick to Cricket show (Betfair\/Stick to Cricket)<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, he said: \u201cEngland\u2019s record against India here in the UK in the last three times they\u2019ve won 4-1, 3-1 and they were 2-1 down and they came back the year after and drew 2-2. Primarily, beating India at home, England have bowled to take the top of off-stump better.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, that\u2019s all I\u2019m talking to the team about. Make sure that you try and press them on that forward defence. That\u2019s all you need to do. Keep pressing them on the forward defence, and I reckon they snick off.\u201d<\/p>\n

After opening the series at Vaughan\u2019s former home ground, England face India at Edgbaston, Lord\u2019s, and Old Trafford, before rounding off at The Oval.<\/p>\n

Betfair<\/a> are set for a big summer and winter of cricket, launching a new show with The Overlap: Stick to Cricket. Don’t miss the first episode next week, where the team will be reviewing the opening test of the series between England and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former England captain Michael Vaughan has laid down what he thinks is the key to success in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5008],"tags":[79355,35434,748,393,1676,4884,730,4110,76760,79354,46268,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-194654","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"tag-alistair-cook","9":"tag-betfair","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-gary-neville","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-india","15":"tag-jamie-carragher","16":"tag-jill-scott","17":"tag-michael-vaughan","18":"tag-test-series","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114704941485453783","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
