Cook should be sacked: Vaughan
" With six months to go, other teams are looking at this side and hoping that Cook remains as captain, and opens the batting at next year's World Cup, because they know if that happens England will not be a threat," Vaughan wrote in an online column for the Daily Telegraph.
He called Cook a 'stubborn man'.
"The rest of the world see one-day cricket through Twenty20 eyes, whereas England see it through Test match eyes. I think it is getting to the stage now when that harsh reality has hit home for England. Cook is a stubborn man. He proved it this summer when he defied people calling for him to go and made his point by winning the Test series againstIndia," the former skipper said.
Under Cook's leadership, England won the recently held five-match Test series against India 3-1.
"But one-day cricket is different. If he is not going to stand down then the tough call has to be made. If he is not willing to resign and Whitaker and Paul Downton, the managing director of England cricket, can't see that a change needs to be made, then I seriously question the vision of the men making decisions in English cricket," Vaughan said.
India defeated England in the fourth match of the ongoing ODI series to take an unassailable 3-0 lead on Tuesday.
