Andrew Strauss will captain England for their entire tour of the West Indies, including one-day internationals and the lone Twenty20, it was announced here Friday.
Strauss, who hasn't played a one-day international since the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean, was confirmed Thursday by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as England's new Test captain.
He replaced Kevin Pietersen, who had been captain of England in all forms of cricket, after the star batsman's fall-out with coach Peter Moores led to both men losing their positions.
England will not be appointing a new head coach for the West Indies tour.
Instead current assistant coach Andy Flower, the former Zimbabwe international, and Phil Neale, England's team operations manager, will lead the existing backroom staff when the squad departs on January 21.
