July 30 : England named Joe Root as test captain and appointed former New Zealand batter Stephen Fleming as head coach on Thursday following the departures of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
Root, 35, led the side in 64 tests from 2017 to 2022.
“It is a great honour and privilege to be asked to be England men’s test captain again,” Root said in a statement.
“The test captaincy is a difficult but hugely rewarding job and, after enjoying a brief taste of it again working with Brendon McCullum last month, I am excited to lead this next generation of players forward.”
