The English All-rounder Chris Woakes has supported Joe Root to continue as a team’s test skipper even though they embarrassed the capitulation to Australia.
England suffered inning and lost 14-run to Australia on Tuesday in Melbourne as the root team handed over the ash series of five tests with two spare tests.
Root, who was reluctant to discuss the long-term future of his captain after Ash’s defeat in the third test, had not won one of the three series of responsible ash.
The 30-year-old child has also experienced a record of nine defeats in 2021 as captain.
Asked whether the English team would support the continuation of the roots as captain, Woakes told British media on Wednesday, “really.” It was clear that the captain did not have an impact on his punch, many times with the captain could be the case.
“Root has proven virtual hands with bats and, after scoring 50 and 28 in Melbourne, he completes the calendar year with 1,708 runs – the third highest after Mohammad Yousuf (1,710).” The fact that he scored his goal, was good for the team, “Woakes added.” It would be better if we could help him with it and build several partnerships with him, and scored a few steps around it.
“But Joe is a great Cricketer, he has a good cricket brain.
I think his notes as England captain is quite good, as far as I realize.
I certainly feel like Joe will continue.” Asked whether coach Chris Silverwood also had the same support, Woakes added: “Who is I to talk about the future of people other than myself, to be brutally honest? We have two more games and we want to show many characters, lots of battles meet By root in Melbourne on Wednesday to discuss the reasons behind a failed tour but the board is said to support it to stay as captain.
