5 Players who can lead England Test team
Under Root, England have failed to win two successive Ashes series.
3. Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler may not have had a great time in the recent past. He’s struggled with the bat. But he has been one of the consistent performers for England over the years. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been a regular in white-ball cricket. He was also England’s best batsman in Test cricket last year. In fact, since his return to Test cricket last year, no other England batsman has a better average than Buttler in the longest format.
Moreover, Buttler has experience on his side. He has led England in the shorter formats in Eoin Morgan’s absence and has also done well. In fact, in the limited opportunities he’s got, Buttler has a better record as captain with the bat in ODI cricket.
Also, the 29-year-old has a lot of cricket left in him. He could well be a good choice as captain in the longest format. In fact, it may well help him perform better too. Hence, Buttler could be a good option as well.
