Tim Bresnan is confident he has the right credentials to captain his country, in Twenty20 or any other form of cricket.

England's selectors will today name the man to deputise for the injured Stuart Broad when they announce their Twenty20 squad to face West Indies at The Oval next week.

All-rounder Bresnan would perhaps be a left-field choice - from a possible short-list also including one-day international captain Alastair Cook, Graeme Swann or even Kevin Pietersen.

The 26-year-old Yorkshireman makes a huge virtue of his ‘can-do' attitude, however, and is not shy about putting his case either.

"Definitely," said Bresnan when asked if he has any designs on the England captaincy - next week or at any stage in the future.

"It would be a massive honour to lead England out wherever it was, in whatever format of the game.

"I wouldn't turn it down. I'd love to do it."

With Broad and official vice-captain Eoin Morgan both out with shoulder problems, and England employing a youth policy as they continue to build for the defence of their ICC World Twenty20 crown next year, there are only a small number of candidates to fill Broad's boots.

Bresnan believes he is one of them, adding: "I feel as though I'm experienced enough to know what's going on, what fields to set - so yes, I'd take it on.

"I've never really got chance to (captain much). They've always thought I had a lot on my plate, being an all-rounder.

"It was always the posh kids in the age groups that got to captain - not that big lad from a comp."
