The Second Coming: Joe Root's Leadership Put to the Test Joe Root has taken on the challenge of leading England with quiet confidence and measured leadership after Ben Stokes' departure.
At Lord's, he demonstrated impressive off field leadership by addressing the media with his characteristic calmness and honesty. However, it's not just about what he says; it's also about how he performs on the field.
One of the most striking aspects of Root's second tenure as captain is his willingness to adapt. Gone are the days of naming teams two days before a Test – at least for now.
