Forget the notion that playing for England is the only thing that matters to Michael Vaughan and his side, says the Independent's Angus Fraser. Taking a look at a recent survey by the Professional Cricketers Association, which shows that 35 per cent of those picked to play Test and one-day cricket would consider retiring from the international game prematurely to sign up for the highly lucrative Indian Premier League, Fraser lends a shoulder to "the hundreds of thousands of cricket fans who continue to spend a small fortune supporting the national side both at home and abroad".
