Former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott believes Stuart Broad should replace Joe Root as captain - but warned his country that they will ‘probably not’ improve regardless.
Last Friday, Root resigned as England captain after originally replacing Alastair Cook in the role. The 31-year-old holds the record for the highest number of matches and wins as captain.
However, his last series as captain ended in a loss to the West Indies, with the crushing 10-wicket loss in the third Test ensuring England remain winless in nine matches following a dismal Ashes tour. Boycott welcomed Root’s decision to step down and offered his thoughts on his replacement before issuing a chilling warning regarding the immediate future of the England team.
