Michael Vaughan claims that he is seeing positive signs in Andrew Strauss' performances despite recent criticism aimed at the England captain.

Michael Vaughan has claimed that Andrew Strauss still has a future as England captain despite the speculation surrounding his future.

Strauss has come in for criticism in recent days after last week's loss to Sri Lanka consigned his side to four straight Test defeats.

Former captain Vaughan told Sky Sports News: "From what I've seen as a person, I think there is a bit in him yet and I think there is a lot of captaincy left in him.

"He can only answer what he's thinking. To the public and press you always hide things that you are actually thinking behind the scenes."

Vaughan also revealed that he felt his former teammate was a better player than in recent years despite his record of one century in 48 Test innings.

"He's a mature leader, very well-respected, fantastic with the team. I actually think he's playing OK. His feet are moving, in my opinion, better than they were two years ago. I don't think it's going to be long before he gets that big total," Vaughan added.

Strauss's teammates Steven Finn and Jonathan Trott have both given their backing to the opening batsman recently.
