Now ENGLAND have their new One-day and T-20 Captains.

Alastair Cook has been
named England's new
one-day international
captain and Stuart
Broad has been handed
the leadership of the
Twenty20 side in a
major shake-up of the
limited-overs teams.
Andrew Strauss
announced his decision
to stand down as ODI
captain to focus on his
Test career, while Paul
Collingwood's run in the
Twenty20 job is over as
England look to the
future.
It means that England
will have a different
captain for each
format of the game.
Cook has previously led
the team on the tour to
Bangladesh last year
when Strauss was
rested, but for Broad it
is his first captaincy
role at a senior level
and he'll now be at the
helm when England
defend their Twenty20
title in Sri Lanka next
year.
"It has never been tried
before so I am excited
by the opportunity it
provides us with," Andy
Flower, the England
team director said of
the three captains. "We
don't know 100%
whether it will work and
be the most efficient
system but we're going
to give it a try."
On the Bangladesh tour
Cook made scores of
64, 60 and 32 in a 3-0
victory in the ODIs,
before anchoring
England's twin Test wins
with a pair of centuries
at Chittagong and
Dhaka. Despite the
relative paucity of the
opposition, the
challenge he faced in
unfamiliar conditions
was immense, not to
mention the ignominy
he would have faced
had he failed to
complete a clean sweep
of five international
wins out of five.
Despite some doubts
about the speed and
power of Cook's
strokeplay, Strauss's
departure from the
limited-overs scene
creates a vacancy for
an opener who can be
relied upon to bat
through an innings, and
besides, with a powerful
cut and an aggressive
slog-sweep, Cook
himself believes he has
the ability to build on an
ODI record of 858 runs
at 33.00, with one
century against India in
2007.
"I've worked hard on my
limited overs cricket in
recent times - I've
never seen myself as a
Test batsman
exclusively and I know I
have a lot to offer
strategically and as a
top order batsman in
one-day cricket," he
said. "I'm excited by the
challenge of taking our
50-over cricket to new
heights and I believe I
can play an integral role
with the bat as well as
captain.
"I will continue to work
closely with Andrew and
also Stuart as we form
a leadership team
across all forms of the
game. We have the
chance to work
together and share
ideas which will benefit
our cricket in all three
formats."
Collingwood, who
captained England's
Twenty20 side on 30
occasions and oversaw
England's successful
World Twenty20
campaign in 2010,
retired from Test
cricket following the
Ashes earlier this year
but remains available
for the limited-overs
side. Broad will make his
debut as captain when
he leads England's
Twenty20 side against
Sri Lanka in Bristol on
June 25.
"It's a huge privilege to
be named England
Twenty20 captain and
form part of a
leadership team that
I've no doubt will work
well together with a
great deal of synergy,"
Broad said.
"I've always enjoyed
playing the shortest
form of the game and I
relish the opportunity
to develop my
leadership skills as
England's Twenty20
captain. As captain the
chance to work closely
with Andy Flower is an
extremely exciting one
and as current World
Twenty20 champions I
know there is a real
responsibility to
continue the team's
recent success."
Strauss, meanwhile,
has decided that, at the
age of 34 and with four
years to go until the
2015 World Cup, the
time is right to follow
the example of many
leading cricketers of
recent times, and
retire from ODIs to
concentrate on Tests. A
tough home summer
against Sri Lanka and
India is looming, but the
long-term goal is a
repeat of his home and
away Ashes wins, with
the next series coming
back-to-back in
2013-14.
"I've enjoyed my time
as England One-Day
captain immensely and
I'm extremely proud of
the strides we've made
in limited overs cricket
over the past two
years," he said. "We still
have a long way to go if
we're to achieve our
goal of winning ICC global
events and I feel now is
the right time for me
to step aside and
ensure someone else
takes up that challenge.
"Retiring from one-day
cricket will also enable
me to focus solely on
the Test captaincy and
our ongoing
development in the
Test arena as we also
strive to be the top
ranked team in world
cricket.
"I look forward to
working closely with
both Alastair and Stuart
as we work together to
progress England's
development across all
forms of the game.
Both Alastair and Stuart
are proven world-class
cricketers and both
have outstanding
leadership qualities
which will ensure
England's success for
many years to come."
