Early and Domestic Career
Michael Vaughan got his break in the domestic side for Yorkshire in 1993 and continued to play for the team until his retirement in 2009. The right-handed batsman was associated with only two teams in his entire career- England and Yorkshire. The fashion of franchise cricket arrived after his retirement.
International Career
After breaking into the domestic side for Yorkshire in 2003, Vaughan took six years to make his international debut for England. He made his debut in a Test match against South Africa in 1999. He went on to play 82 Tests, 86 ODIs, and 2 T20Is till his retirement.
He slammed 5719 runs in Tests at 41+ average and also got 6 wickets. He mustered 1982 runs in ODIs with 16 wickets. He scored 27 and 0 in two T20I games. Hence, Vaughan was more of a middle-order batsman and not that successful as a bowler.

However, he also criticized the England team. It is not wrong to say that he is a critical commentator.
