“I’d like to go on a safari …” Joe Root gave an impish answer when asked whether he would like to feature in the next 50-over World Cup in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe in four years’ time.
On the eve of England’s third match of the current tournament, Root went on to say he has every intention of having bat rather than binoculars in hand. “I’d love to still be playing. The cricket landscape’s forever changing but I can’t see myself not being there, unless I’m not good enough and guys have gone past me.”
