Graeme Swann will captain England in the two-match Twenty20 series against West Indies later this month in the absence of Stuart Broad and Eoin Morgan. Broad, the regular Twenty20 captain who began is reign earlier this season against Sri Lanka, was ruled out of the remainder of England's home season, as well as the five-match ODI series in India next month, after sustaining a muscle tear to his right shoulder in the fourth ODI against India at Lord's. Morgan, Broad's vice-captain, was earlier ruled out until January with his own shoulder problem. Two uncapped players - Yorkshire's Jonathan Bairstow and Hampshire's Danny Briggs - have also been included in the 14-man squad. There is also a Twenty20 recall for James Anderson who hasn't played the shortest format for England since November 2009. Squad Graeme Swann (capt), James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Ravi Bopara, Scott Borthwick, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler Jade Dernbach Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Kieswetter (wk), Samit Patel, Ben Stokes.

A "lad" becoming England's captain? It's only for 2 T20 games but he will never be a long-term England captain.

^We rarely see spinners becoming captain, unless he a senior player

wow.....well they do have good bowlers. Seriously, WI sent an extremely weak squad and have managed a T20 win. Dhoni and co. should seek some inspiration from WI.

goes to show the importance of good bowling attacks in winning matches.

There's something about the Windies. They beat England quite easily, even when the Poms are on a high. Correct me if I'm wrong, England was gangraped when they toured West Indies the last time.

They were in 1 match and that led to a series loss - 51 all out. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7D753qE7Wg]Jerome Taylor 5 wicket haul v England.avi - YouTube[/ame]
