Joe Root's future as England captain in doubt after West Indies rout
Joe Root may be "passionate" about remaining as England's Test captain but should he stay in the post after the West Indies inflicted the latest damaging defeat of his tenure?

But a thumping 10-wicket defeat in the third and final Test against the West Indies in Grenada on Sunday condemned England to a 1-0 series loss after two draws. Root has now overseen just one win in 17 Tests and has failed to lead England to a series victory in his last five attempts.
