England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad, has led the tributes to Andrew Strauss, who has retired from all forms of Cricket.....

Broad tweeted "Awesome guy, great leader, dependable batsman and a solid 1 slip catcher. Cheers Straussy you'll be playing scratch golf within a year..."

Later the Notts paceman added "Best Straussy knock for me was his 100 on the 1st day of the Ashes Test at Lords, allowed us bowlers to have a massive lunch!"

Eoin Morgan tweeted:"Sad news that Straussy is retiring but I would like to congratulate him on an amazing career. A great leader and a pleasure to play with!!"

England's players learned of the news after their ODI match with South Africa in Southampton last night, with Alastair Cook saying that it was an "incredibly sad dressing room" when they knew of what was happening.
