Joe Root will not ‘rip up’ Bazball as he outlines plan to get England back to winning ways

Joe Root is set to begin his second spell as England Test captain when England face Pakistan this week. Root has stated he will not abandon the aggressive 'Bazball' approach that has defined England's recent Test cricket identity, instead outlining plans to build on it to return the team to winning ways. The appointment marks a notable return to leadership for Root, one of England's most experienced Test batsmen.
