Joe Root Set For England Test Captaincy Return After Stokes' Retirement: Report
Wales Cricket Board: Joe Root is expected to return as England's Test captain, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) close to naming him as Ben Stokes' successor following the latter's retirement from international cricket.
Root, who captained England in the longest format before handing over the role to Stokes in 2022, is now set for a second stint in charge. His appointment would mark the end of the ECB's search for a new Test captain ahead of England's three-match home series against Pakistan, beginning next month.
According to The Athletic, Root is likely to remain captain until next summer's Ashes series against Australia. The move would also allow current Test vice-captain Harry Brook to concentrate on leading England's white-ball teams instead of taking on responsibility across all three formats.
