JOE Root said he felt “privileged, humbled and very excited” to be named England test cricket captain yesterday, replacing Alastair Cook who resigned last week after four and a half years in charge.
Durham’s 25-year-old all-rounder Ben Stokes was named vice-captain, the role previously held by Root. Root, 26, has scored 4,594 test runs since his debut in 2012 and will become England’s 80th test skipper with his first game in charge set to be against South Africa at Lord’s on July 6. The Yorkshireman described the new role as a “huge honor.”
