Stuart Broad was wearing Graeme Swann's tie when he was unveiled as England's Twenty20 captain at Lord's on Thursday. Writing in the Sun Graeme Swann says that is probably the closest he would ever get to the job himself.
I would have accepted if I'd been asked - there can be no greater honour in cricket - but, if I'm honest, I'm happy to remain one of the foot soldiers.
I've never had strong captaincy ambitions with England. I like to be a bit of a joker around the dressing room, taking the mickey out of the lads. I'm not sure I could continue doing that so easily if I was put in charge.
