England skipper Michael Vaughan believes England can be a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup after their recent one-day renaissance.

Vaughan believes his squad are one of the form teams going into the 16-nation tournament which starts in the West Indies on March 11.

“From where we were six weeks ago, the tournament’s dark horses are us,” said Vaughan whose team were to arrive in the Caribbean later on Friday. “The World Cup is wide open for one of the top eight teams to go on and win it,” he added.

“Since 1992 we haven’t performed in a World Cup. That is why this is a great opportunity and a real special moment,” he expressed.

“You don’t get many times in your career to do something special. We did it in 2005 with the Ashes. This group of players really feel as if they have something to prove in the one-day game and that is what we are setting out to do,” he explained.

“If we get our momentum right and our game right there is no reason we can’t go a long way in the tournament. I just hope over the next six to eight weeks we can have a good campaign and come home with something special in our hands,” he added.
