Former England captain Michael Vaughan thinks that Alastair Cook will be under huge pressure to win the upcoming test series, because of wipeout in the previous Ashes.

According to Sports 24, Vaughan said Cook will be desperate for a successful series against Sri Lanka and India, England's opponents in their home international programme this season.

Vaughan said that though Cook has won Ashes and won against India, Cook will probably feel that this is a new start.

However, the former off-spinner Graeme Swann said that three or four wins at the start will make everyone forget the past.
