Former Australia legend Shane Warne has hit out at the decision by the England selectors to rest captain Andrew Strauss for the upcoming Test series in Bangladesh.

Strauss will stay at home while Alastair Cook leads England on tour and Warne is worried that Test cricket is not being respected fully.

He commented: "I hope they are not taking Bangladesh too easy because they can be quite strong.

"What if they win the first Test? Does Strauss fly out for the second? I hope it's not the start of a trend. It's a lack of respect for Test cricket.

"It's disappointing that the captain of England decides to have a rest from a Test series, I can't comprehend that.

"Any time you represent your country it's special and I cannot understand how you can rest your captain.

"Maybe a one-day game because you play 40 or 50 a year, but you only play eight Test matches a year. It's special.

"He's got a style of captaincy and a new skipper can't be Andrew Strauss, he'll do it his way. So suddenly the players think 'how are we going to play under Alastair Cook?'.
