“Joe’s not had a huge amount of captaincy experience because he played for England from a young age but he’s learned the game at the top level,†Broad told Sky Sports News at Lord’s on Tuesday. “I think it will take his game to the next level, if he can go any higher. He’ll really thrive off the extra responsibility.
“He’s an attacking cricketer, quite aggressive in the way he plays, so I think the team will take that sort of shape,†added Broad. “He was announced a long time ago and now he has the chance to put things into place.â€

Gary Ballance, Root's former Yorkshire flatmate, returns after averaging more than 100 for Yorkshire in the Championship this season. Root has confirmed he will bat at No. 3, reversing their roles at county level. There was no room for Haseeb Hameed, who shone in India last year, with Keaton Jennings retaining his spot as Cook's opening partner. James Anderson and Stuart Broad have both recovered from recent injuries sustained while playing for their counties.
