Joe Root is stepping down as England's Test captain, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Friday. Root's decision comes after the 1-0 Test series defeat to West Indies last month, and a 4-0 Ashes loss to Australia. "After returning from the Caribbean tour and having time to reflect, I have decided to step down as England men's Test captain," Root said. "It has been the most challenging decision I have had to make in my career but having discussed this with my family and those closest to me, I know the timing is right. "I am immensely proud to have captained my country and will look back on the past five years with enormous pride.
