Cricket: Graeme Swann to lead England against West Indies
Published:Wednesday | September 14, 2011 | 5:07 PM
Graeme Swann will lead England for the first time in two Twenty20 matches against the visiting West Indies team later this month.
Captain Stuart Broad and vice-captain Eoin Morgan are both unavailable because of shoulder injuries.
Off-spinner Swann is in charge of a 14-man squad for the games at The Oval on September 23 and 25.
Two uncapped players were named in the squad. They are Yorkshire wicketkeeper-batsman Jonathan Bairstow and Hampshire left-arm spinner Danny Briggs.
Ten players involved in the Twenty20 victory over India in August have been retained, with James Anderson, Bairstow, Scott Borthwick and Briggs completing the party.
Anderson earns a recall having not played a Twenty20 for England since November 2009 while Borthwick rejoins the squad after making his international debut against Ireland in Dublin last month.
