by Joe Root got out of the race to be the next captain of England, insisting that “this ship has sailed”.
The Yorkshireman directed the side of the tests of England from 2017 to 2022 and was linked to the vacant international post of one day after the resignation of Jos Buttler as a limited skipper, following a outing at the Champions Group stadium.
But the 34 -year -old man – a regular from the ODI team of England when he is available, who has not appeared in a T20 international for almost six years – has paid cold water on the suggestion of an interview with Sky Sports.
Asked about the return to the captain of England, Root, a key figure in the triumph of the 50 -year -old World Cup 2019 in England, “said:” I don’t think.
“I think this ship has sailed. I think I had my time as a captain in England, but I am sure that anyone when doing it will be extremely proud and will do a brilliant job. ”
Buttler, who led England to the glory of the T20 World Cup in 2022, retired last month after his team lost the three games in the Champions Trophy to finish the bottom of their group, a disappointing projection of the third concession in a world tournament on the white balloon.
His vice-captain Harry Brook was supposed to be the favorite to take the plunge, but the director general of England of male cricket Rob Key gives himself time to consider his options.
Even the captain of the Ben Stokes test is taken into account, while the head coach Brendon McCullum is open to the appointment of separate skippers and T20 separated or to bring someone who is not currently in one or the other team.
Root, England of all time, the Scoring Run-Scorian test, added: “The champions trophy was disappointing. We have not played what we can, but there is so much talent and so much more to come from this team.
“I think it is a very good opportunity to reset and progress again as a group and to return to the heights which we know we are capable of and where we were in and around this phase from 2015 to 2019.”
