Lost 27 matches, 11 were drawn… still England is after Joe Root as captain, Harry Brook will be ignored

Joe Root May Captain England: England cricket team’s experienced batsman Joe Root is once again close to taking over the captaincy of the Test team. According to media reports in England, after Ben Stokes’s retirement from international cricket, the selectors have decided to repose confidence in Root. It is believed that he will captain the team in the three-match Test series against Pakistan next month.

Joe Root had previously been the captain of the England Test team from 2017 to 2022. He left the captaincy after continuous poor results. Although he once again took command of the team in the second Test against New Zealand in June 2026, but England had to face a crushing defeat in that match. Despite this, the board is expressing confidence in his experience.

Root may get the responsibility in place of Harry Brook

After the retirement of Ben Stokes, England’s limited overs team captain Harry Brook was considered the biggest contender for Test captaincy. But according to the report of The Athletic, the England and Wales Cricket Board has decided to hand over the Test captaincy to Joe Root again. There is also a possibility of former opener Marcus Trescothick being made the interim head coach for the Pakistan series.
