Colly to skip England T20 WC squad

Sunday, 3 May 2009



LONDON, May 2 (Reuters): Paul Collingwood, who stepped down as England one-day captain last year, was named Friday to lead the Twenty20 side in next month's World Cup.
Collingwood resigned the captaincy at the same time as Test skipper Michael Vaughan because he felt it was affecting his Test form.
He was also at the centre of an acrimonious confrontation with the New Zealand team when he appealed for a run-out at The Oval in a one-day international after batsman Grant Elliott had collided in mid-pitch with England bowler Ryan Sidebottom.
