Fresh from an unbeaten century in his first match back in the ranks, Joe Root says he had to step down as England captain when he realised it had become “a very unhealthy relationship” that was taking a “bad toll on my own personal health”.
Root captained England from 2017 until he stepped down this Easter. In a dramatic period, he led England in more Tests than anyone else, while recording more wins and more defeats than any other man.
