Strauss set to keep captaincy for two years?

Scyld Berry writes in the Sunday Telegraph that Andrew Strauss should either have two more years of being England's ODI captain, or just the two games of the series against West Indies.

After the ... two-match series against West Indies, England have no more one-day internationals until early September, when they come thick and fast until early December.

As little over a year will then remain until the next World Cup, England cannot suddenly hope to find a new captain and a new opening batsman and expect them to be bed in.

And Vic Marks writes in the Observer that the one-dayers against West Indies give two players who have been out of favour in recent months, Ian Bell and Ryan Sidebottom, a chance to make their case for the rest of the England summer.
