England test captain Andrew Strauss has announced his retirement from professional cricket with immediate effect. Strauss guided England to home and away wins in the Ashes series and led England to the top of the world rankings since he took charge in January 2009. At a press conference at Lord's, Strauss said his decision was motivated by a drop in his batting form - not the fallout over the Kevin Pietersen row.
