LONDON :Joe Root has stepped down as England's test captain, the country's cricket board said on Friday, succumbing to pressure from influential figures within the game following a run of poor results capped by dispiriting tours of Australia and the Caribbean.
Darren Gough has backed Joe Root to retain the England Test captaincy, insisting he is ‘still the right man for the job’ and the ‘natural leader’ in the dressing room.
NEW DELHI : England's record of one win in their last 17 tests is clearly not good enough but Joe Root is still the right man to skipper the side, former bowler Darren Gough told Reuters.
Nasser Hussain believes there is “no weakness” in Australia’s World Cup winning side while England and Wales Cricket Board's managing director of women's cricket Clare Connor says “the rest of the world is playing catch-up”.
Australia women's cricket team winning run is a testament to the side's belief and fitness, and no wonder there is a sense of invincibility whenever they step out to the field. Meg Lanning's side scripted yet another chapter in their glorious history as they defeated England in the summit clash of the ICC Women's World Cup on Sunday. In the final, Alyssa Healy was at her best as she scored 170 runs to help Australia post 356/5 in 50 overs. Alana King and Jess Jonassen spun a web to take six wickets between them to help Australia win a record-extending seventh Women's World Cup title.
Alyssa Healy was named 'Player of the Tournament' by the ICC following her team's 71-run over England in the Women's World Cup final here on Sunday. Healy added her name to the prestigious roll-call of previous winners, joining former Australia captain Karen Rolton (2005) and international stars (England's Claire Taylor in 2009, New Zealand's Suzie Bates in 2013 and England's Tammy Beaumont in 2017) as contemporaries that have also won the coveted award. With 509 runs, the wicketkeeper-batter scored more runs than any other player in New Zealand, with her centuries in the semifinal and final of the tournament helping Australia take home a record-extending seventh World Cup title.
