Root named England Test captain(offically)

[rahul1117kumar]

Joe Root has been named as England's Test captain on Monday (February 13) with Ben Stokes appointed as his deputy. Root was understood to have been interviewed by England's Director of Cricket Andrew Strauss last week for the top job. Strauss also met Stokes and senior pacer Stuart Broad to fetch his inputs on England's results in the Test arena in the last few months.

The process to appoint the new skipper began last week after Alastair Cook had stepped down from his role following the 4-0 loss in India. Cook had led England in 59 Tests, the most by any captain in the country's history. Root has captained in only four first-class matches so far in his career but has been Cook's deputy since 2015. He has scored more than 4500 runs in his 53-match Test career at an impressive average of 52.80.

"It is a huge honour to be given the England Test captaincy," Root said following his appointment. "I feel privileged, humbled and very excited.
