Lara mulls future after whitewash

AFP, London
Brian Lara said he will take stock before deciding on his future as West Indies captain following his side's 10-wicket defeat to England in the fourth and final Test here Saturday.
Lara has been appointed captain for the ICC Champions' Trophy which starts in a fortnight and he insists he will get through that competition before thinking about his position after England's series whitewash.
Lara was out for just 15 as the West Indies, following on, were bowled out for 318, leaving England to score a single run for victory which they did without alarm.
Lara said: "I am going to be back here in two weeks for the ICC tournament and let's take it from there.
"We don't play any more Test cricket until April which is a long time. We have got to prepare the team properly for that."
Despite their humiliating series defeat Lara feels he can take some positives from the summer -- especially in the performances of some of his
novice players.
He added: "Dwayne Bravo, Tino Best and Fidel Edwards are all very young players and are going to improve. These guys are going to be around for a very long time."
And Lara paid tribute to England saying: "They have played some great cricket and had a great summer. That is down to Michael Vaughan, (coach) Duncan Fletcher and their support staff.
"This is the time an England team has not been scared by the West Indies. Sometimes (England teams) have not been sure they can beat the West Indies."
