Strauss to captain all England teams in West Indies

Andrew Strauss will captain England for the entire tour of the West Indies with selectors announcing he will lead the one-day and Twenty20 teams as well as the Test side.

The England and Wales Cricket Board had initially said the 31-year-old opening batsman would only be captain for the Test series.

"I know I haven't played an ODI since the end of the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2007 but I do feel that I have something to offer in that form of the game," Strauss said Friday.

"We can now all unite and get about the business of winning cricket matches for England and winning them consistently."

"The selectors feel that it is important to have stability and continuity on the Caribbean tour," national selector Geoff Miller said. "Andrew and I have also agreed that we will review the one day captaincy at the end of the tour. Andrew is extremely comfortable with that."

Paceman Stuart Broad said Strauss has a style of leadership that will bring about harmony into the side.

"Andrew is a team man, but most people in the England dressing room are team men, so I don't think it'll be too difficult to get team unity back," the 22-year-old Broad said. "He's not in your face. He lets you choose your own fields, with his input."

The tour starts on January 21 and the four-Test series begins February 4, followed by a Twenty20 match and five ODIs.

A decision about replacing Moores is yet to be made, with the ECB saying that Strauss will be supported by assistant coach Andy Flower and team operations manager Phil Neale.

"(Flower) is a very relaxed man and I'm sure he won't let it face him," Broad said of the former Zimbabwe captain. "I can't praise him enough for the work and time he's put in with me. It's been helpful in that he was a left-hander. He's been instrumental in my development as a batsman."

Moores briefly spoke Friday with a plea for the team to quickly get back to its winning ways.

"I want to see a successful England team," he told Sky Sports.
