"It Had Become A Very Unhealthy Relationship": Joe Root On England Test Captaincy
After hitting a match-winning century in the first England vs New Zealand Test at Lord's on Sunday, Joe Root opened up about his "unhealthy relationship" with Test captaincy. Root had stepped down as England's skipper in the longest format following series defeats in the Ashes in Australia and then away to the West Indies.

England captaincy had become unhealthy, says Joe Root
Joe Root said the England Test captaincy had taken a toll on his personal health after he guided his side to a memorable five-wicket win against New Zealand on Sunday in his first match since relinquishing the role. The 31-year-old stepped down as skipper in the aftermath of England's 1-0 series defeat in the Caribbean in March, which came on the heels of a disastrous 4-0 loss against Australia in the Ashes.
