Anthony McGrath's inclusion in the England one-day squad could lead to him standing down as Yorkshire captain.

McGrath will have talks with Yorkshire's new director of cricket, David Byas, over the next few days to decide whether he should stay in the job.

Although McGrath should be present when Yorkshire report back for pre-season training at Headingley on March 1, he will leave for the Caribbean later in the month and not return to England until the second week in May.

If McGrath does well in the West Indies, he could win back his Test place with England and that would mean him missing most of Yorkshire's matches this summer.

"I am absolutely delighted to be included in the squad for the West Indies and am greatly looking forward to playing in the Caribbean," said McGrath.

"I got close to playing in England's first match in Bangladesh in the autumn but just missed out and it was difficult for England to change a winning side.

"We then went to Sri Lanka where the one-day part of the tour was virtually a washout and it meant I played very little cricket.

"But I am very pleased to be still part of England's plans and I hope to get enough chances in the West Indies to really impress the selectors and win back my Test place.

"To be honest, I was more happy with my form in the Tests last summer than the one-dayers but I am confident of making some good scores if opportunities arise.

"As far as Yorkshire are concerned, my England selection means I will miss some of the preparations as well as the start of the season and I will be meeting David Byas very soon to see where we go from here.

"David and I had a chat before Christmas and we agreed that it was best not to make any decisions until after we found out if I was going to the West Indies. David will have his opinions and I am sure we will come to a decision which is in the best interests of the club."

McGrath has enjoyed a break from cricket over Christmas but he will be back having batting sessions with Yorkshire coach Kevin Sharp next week.

Despite having a lean time of it in Sri Lanka,Yorkshire's Matthew Hoggard has kept his place in the England squad

Byas said: "It is great news that England will have two Yorkshire players in the West Indies in addition to Michael Vaughan.

"Hoggard now has the chance to put a disappointing pre-Christmas period behind him."
