Re: Joe Root has been appointed as England Test captain. - myballfield - 02-17-2017 New England captain Joe Root says he will seek the advice of his predecessors before taking charge for the first time in July. The 26-year-old has replaced Alastair Cook despite only leading in four previous first-class matches. "It would be silly not to talk to people who have been in this position before," Root told BBC Sport. "Maybe I'll also speak to a few people away from cricket to get different perspectives on things." The Yorkshire batsman added: "The opportunity to do that comes with a great deal of time before our next Test, hopefully I can be smart about things and use that time wisely."
