A press conference is due to be held at Lord’s at noon where the managing director of the England team, Hugh Morris, will make a statement.
Strauss has been captain for three years and has presided over one of the most successful periods in English cricket during which England prevailed over Australia in the Ashes, both on home soil and Down Under.
