Joe Root has revealed he regrets not being more aggressive and sticking to his beliefs during his time as England Test captain.
Root is England's longest-serving skipper, having taken charge of 64 Tests and recording 27 wins and 26 defeats. He resigned in April following one win in 17 games and has since admitted the role had left him feeling "like a bit of a zombie".
His close friend Ben Stokes succeeded him and has enjoyed a dream start, leading England to six Test wins this summer for the first time since 2004. And Root has urged Stokes and any other future England captains to "fight as hard as you possibly can" to "make sure you are doing things the way you believe is the right way".
