Joe Root's Future As England Captain In Doubt After West Indies Rout: Report

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? In January, the 31-year-old star batter insisted he wanted to begin the process of helping rebuild England's red-ball fortunes by continuing to lead the team in the Caribbean following their humiliating 4-0 Ashes series loss in Australia. 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.

On the other end, England suffered consequences at the back of another series defeat as they now occupy the bottom-most place with only one win in 13 Tests played in this WTC cycle so far. West Indies currently hold the seventh place with two wins in seven Test played.

Beating England means a lot to Caribbean people, say Curtly Ambrose

Caribbean cricket but does not necessarily mean West Indies have turned the corner long term, former bowling great Curtly Ambrose said on Sunday. Speaking in the wake of West Indies 10-wicket win over England in the deciding Test in Grenada, Ambrose, who took 405 Test wickets at a miserly average of less than 21, was clearly delighted with the result. However, he offered a sobering reality check for anyone thinking the team was on the verge of enjoying the kind of success enjoyed by the world-beating West Indies teams of the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
