Joe Root has resigned as England Test captain on the back of a series defeat in the West Indies after five years in the job;
Root leaves the role having led the side in 64 Tests, more than any other. And on 27 occasions he took his team to victory, an England record. However the last year in the role has been little short of a horror show as England lost 11 and won just once in their last 17 matches.
Series defeats to India, New Zealand, Australia and the West Indies have seen the red ball side slip to the bottom of the World Test Championship table with Root overseeing his 26th defeat as skipper in Grenada, also an England record.
