Paul Collingwood to lead England in T20 World Cup which is going to start by the next month in England.This decision was a tough one from the England Cricket Board since there was no other player in contention for the job.Andrew Strauss the current captain of ODI and Test is not playing the T20 format neither his considered.This made life hard for the ECB to choose the captain.Finally they had to go with the 32 year old Paul Collingwood has the captain.Will Collingwood lead his team to a victory in this T20 Word Cup.I don't think so.But nothing is predictable in this form of the game.We have to wait and see who is the winner.
