Collingwood named Twenty20 captain
May 1 2009
England all-rounder Paul Collingwood has been appointed captain for the World Twenty20 tournament on home soil next month.
The 32-year-old quit the one-day captaincy role last August, the same day Michael Vaughan announced he was stepping down from the Test leadership, citing concerns it was affecting his form.
National selector Geoff Miller told Sky Sports News: "We thought long and hard about it (captaincy) and in the end we came up with Paul Collingwood, and I'm sure we've got that right."
