Andrew Strauss to play for Somerset against India
SOUTHAMPTON: England captain Andrew Strauss is to play for Somerset against India next month in a bid to warm-up for the Test series with MS Dhoni’s ICC table-toppers.
Strauss, who led England to a 1-0 Test series win against Sri Lanka after the third and final Test was drawn at the Rose Bowl here on Monday, has retired from limited overs internationals, so he will miss the upcoming one-day series with the Sri Lankans.
Instead he plans to return to Middlesex, the county he has represented throughout his entire professional career.
But Middlesex have just one four-day County Championship match, against Gloucestershire at Uxbridge in the next three weeks.
That could leave him short of time in the middle before the start of a four-Test series with India. Opening batsman Strauss struggled against Sri Lanka with just 27 runs in four innings.
