Former captain Strauss appears to be the front-runner to fill the new position of England director of cricket, a post created by the England and Wales Cricket Board last month following Paul Downton's sacking as managing director. Strauss's fellow ex-England skippers Michael Vaughan and Alec Stewart have also expressed an interest in the role.
