5 non-Britain born England ODI captains

#3 Andrew Strauss

Strauss has been the man behind England's transition into a dominant force

If Eoin Morgan was the man who made things possible on the field for English cricket's revival and dominance, then Johannesburg born Andrew Strauss was the man who ran the show behind the curtains and provided Morgan with the requisite support.

Taking charge of ECB as it's Director post the debacle of 2015, Strauss ensured that English cricket embarked on a defined roadmap to scale new heights and redefine the way the sport was played.

In his own days on the field, Strauss was a craftsman of his trade as he was a sublime opener who contributed heavily to English cricket. Under his captaincy, which was a result of the unanticipated Pietersen saga, England played 62 games, winning 27 and losing 33.

He was the captain in England's 2011 World Cup campaign, one that saw the team producing tumultuous results as they beat tournament favorites South Africa in a low scoring thriller, tied with eventual champions India in a humdinger, and lost to then minnows Ireland and Bangladesh, resulting in an unsuccessful campaign.
