Joe Root ought to be extremely pleased with how he behaved as England skipper since he has been fruitful as well as for being an incredible representative for the game.

However, the main box you need to tick as commander is results, and one win in the last 17 Tests and no successes in the last five series proposes it is the ideal opportunity for a change.

It is the ideal opportunity for another voice and another person to steer the group another way. Those outcomes are not all down to Root. He has needed to tolerate a batting line-up that has consistently bombed him, notwithstanding different changes in the squad, and once he has needed to keep intact himself with the main part of England’s runs.

Where does England go at this point? I would go for Ben Stokes. He is a talented and elite yet he additionally has an incredible cricket cerebrum and thoroughly considers his ongoing circumstances, as he showed both in the 2019 World Cup final and that summer’s Ashes Test at Headingley.

Stokes additionally has such an emanation that he deserves gigantic admiration in the dressing room and the players hold tight to all his words. Root would get involved with Stokes as commander, as well, and would show up for his extraordinary companion. Ben is an exceptionally steadfast guy and could not have possibly needed the occupation while Joe had it. Presently it very well may be an alternate matter.

He ought not to be passed judgment on either on how other extraordinary England all-rounders, for example, Sir Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff have fared as commanders. There have been individuals who have looked clear England chiefs and not done so well yet other people have astounded individuals with how well they have done whenever allowed the opportunity.

However, as I and each previous England commander know, you must be in a decent spot intellectually and truly to do the work – and Ben has had his concerns from the field.

Whoever the new overseer of cricket is, the primary thing they should do is drive up the A1, sit down with Stokes, look at him in the eye and figure out where he is. The work assumes control more than a day in and day out and England must be certain Stokes can adapt to all that goes with it.

If Not Stokes, Then Experienced Bowler Broad Would Be My Pick To Take Over From Root: Nasser Hussain

Whoever comes in will have invigorating youthful players like Saqib Mahmood to work with.

Also, on the off chance that not Stokes then, on a transient premise this mid-year, the rule of picking your best side leads me to Broad. Stuart has a splendid cricket cerebrum, loads of involvement, and is a warrior who needs to dominate each match he plays in.

He has a highlight demonstrated after the most recent few months and we know how hazardous he can be in those conditions.

If he causes some disruption individuals don’t know they want to play under him then, at that point, unfortunately, I don’t care a whole lot. England needs somebody to let the players know how things are and that they must be better.

This is a great opportunity to take over in England cricket, whether that is as director of cricket, captain, or coach because, as I figured out such a long time prior, the main way is up. Also, there are a ton of good youthful players out there.

It feels all despondency right now however it is astounding how rapidly things can change with another voice and new energy on the side. In any case, the outlook must be correct, beginning at the exceptionally top.
