In a major decision, Andrew Strauss has been named as England captain for the one-day series and the one-off Twenty20 match against the West Indies after being offered the Test captaincy for the tour following Kevin Pietersen's resignation.

Strauss, who has not played ODI cricket since the 2007 World Cup 20 months ago and was not initially picked in the 15-man limited-overs squad for the West Indies tour, was appointed to lead the team to stabilise the dressing room atmosphere.
