Root Backs England’s ‘different Approach’ As Stokes’ Men Eye Ashes Glory In Australia
Sky Sports News: Joe Root has promised that England will bring something “slightly different” to this winter’s Ashes, as Ben Stokes leads a 16-man squad to Australia in search of their first series win Down Under since 2015.

Root, England’s all-time leading run-scorer, said the tourists’ new mentality and style of play under Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum could help tilt the balance.
"It’s a big series like that against a side that have got a great record at home, especially against us previously," Root told Sky Sports News. "But I think it’s the first time we can hit them with something slightly different.
