New England skipper Ben Stokes has disclosed that the star batter and former captain Joe Root will bat at number four in the batting lineup during the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. Root, who stood down last month after five years in the role, had moved up to number three for England's most-recent tour of the West Indies that resulted in a 1-0 series defeat.
Ben Stokes has confirmed that Joe Root will move back to number four in his revamped England line-up and called on Test hopefuls to “put their hands up” for the vacant batting spots.
England's new Test skipper Ben Stokes featured for Durham at Worcestershire, while former skipper Alastair Cook made his 71st first-class century as Essex made a solid start against Yorkshire on Thursday. Cook compiled his runs against a Yorkshire attack featuring the occasional off-spin of Joe Root, who recently stood down as England captain after succeeding the left-handed opener. The 37-year-old Cook, who played the last of his 161 Tests in 2018 before retiring from international duty, made 107 from 268 balls.

DURHAM, England : England's all-time leading test wicket takers James Anderson and Stuart Broad will always be named in the playing 11 if the two fast bowlers are fit, new test captain Ben Stokes said on Tuesday as he looks to wipe the slate clean and start afresh.
Ben Stokes says he wants to lead a team of "selfless" cricketers as he plots England's revival after being named as the new Test captain. The 30-year-old all-rounder was appointed to the role last week after Joe Root stood down following a five-year reign that culminated in a string of painful defeats. Stokes, who was vice-captain to close friend Root, takes over with England having won just one of their past 17 Tests and the team bottom of the World Test Championship table.
