Joe Root, the most prolific England Test batter, says "that ship has sailed" as far as his days of leading England are concerned, ruling out any possibility of him captaining the side again in red-ball or white-ball cricket, while he focuses on the challenge of facing India in a five-Test series at home this summer.
Root, who overtook Alastair Cook to become England's leading Test run-scorer in the previous year, is preparing for the upcoming challenge after delivering strong performances in the recent Champions Trophy.
