England's cricket captain Alastair Cook has decided to sit out England's limited-overs tour of the West Indies as the team prepares for the Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh in March.
Cook, who does not play the T20 format for England, will not be part of the squad to the Caribbean during which the visitors will play three ODIs and three T20 matches, starting at the end of next month.
29 year old Cook failed to score even a half century during the five Ashes test against Australia, and although he hinted at stepping down as England's ODI skipper after his side lost the limited overs series against Australia, he later said he was "desperate" to continue in his role.
It's likely Stuart Broad will lead England in the one dayers in the West Indies.
England lost the final one-dayer yesterday in Adelaide to lose the series 4-1.
