Darren Gough has backed Joe Root to remain England 's Test captain, insisting he is "the only man for the job".
Root has come under fire following England's recent defeat to the West Indies, with former skippers Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton all calling for him to relinquish the captaincy. However, Root remains keen to continue in the role, telling BT Sport: "I think I've made it quite clear at the start of this game and throughout this tour, I'm very passionate about trying to take this team forward and I will control what I can.
"I don't think it is ever in your hands completely. I feel like the group are very much behind me, we're doing a lot of really good things and we just need to turn that into results now."
