Warne underwhelmed by Strauss no-show
Cricket, 09:51, February 9, 2010 ,
Shane Warne has said Andrew Strauss has shown "a lack of respect for Test cricket" by missing the tour of Bangladesh.
England captain Strauss will not travel next month for a six-week tour of Bangladesh because he has said he is feeling jaded - a decision lost on Australia spin legend Warne.
"It's a lack of respect for Test cricket," said Warne.
"It's disappointing that the captain of England decides to have a rest from a Test series, I can't comprehend that."
The iconic leg-spinner also believes the decision to appoint replacement Alastair Cook as captain for the Tests could confuse the rest of the England players.
"He's got a style of captaincy, and a new skipper can't be Andrew Strauss, he'll do it his way. So suddenly the players think 'how are we going to play under Alastair Cook?'," added Warne.
