Andrew Strauss has announced his retirement from professional cricket, ending a 10-year career at international level for the last three of which he was England's Test captain. Alastair Cook, the one-day captain, will move into the Test job.
His decision comes after a week of soul-searching during a family break following the 2-0 loss against South Africa which meant England lost the No. 1 Test ranking and also comes at a time when Kevin Pietersen's exile from the team has dominated the agenda.
