Jaw-dropping European win
Livingstone grateful to be handed England captaincy

LIAM LIVINGSTONE feels like he has been handed “a new career” as he prepares to captain England for the first time, just two months after losing his place in the side.
The dust may barely have settled on England’s Test series defeat in Pakistan, but their next assignment is already at hand, as a youthful side begins a white-ball tour of the West Indies.
With Jos Buttler injured, Livingstone has been asked to lead his country in the three-match ODI series which begins in Antigua on Thursday, capping a remarkably swift change in fortunes.
