• Eoin Morgan praises Strauss’s ‘clarity and direction’ in role
Andrew Strauss has stepped down as England’s director of cricket after three and a half years and following a spell of compassionate leave.
The former England captain took a break from day-to-day duties in the summer to help care for his wife Ruth, who was diagnosed with cancer during the Ashes in December 2017, and says he is no longer able to offer full focus on the national side as he continues to support his family.
