Michael Vaughan is to return to the BBC and play a key part in its cricket coverage this summer after being earlier this year cleared of making a racist remark during his time as a player at Yorkshire.

The former England captain will broadcast on England’s first home Test this year, against Ireland at Lord’s, and for the Ashes series that follows it, with the corporation announcing that he will be contributing to their Test Match Special radio commentary and be among the guests for the Ireland Test’s highlights programme, to be broadcast on BBC Two on 1 June.
