Nasser Hussain Thinks Ollie Pope's Appointment As Test Captain For Sri Lanka Series Augurs Well For England

Former captain Nasser Hussain thinks Ollie Pope's appointment as England Test skipper for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka augurs well for the side ahead of the all-important Ashes happening next year in Australia. Pope was made England captain for the Sri Lanka series starting on August 21 as Ben Stokes was ruled out due to a torn hamstring. "I think it's good for Pope to be captain for three Tests, just in case, Ben Stokes does get injured in the future. They need other options. Just like when they go to Australia, and they don't want a bowling attack that's inexperienced. You don't want to get there with someone (leading) who hasn't done it before," said Hussain in the latest episode of Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.

Ricky Ponting Predicts This Star To Break Sachin Tendulkar's Record Of Runs In Test Cricket

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting reckoned that Joe Root could surpass batting legend Sachin Tendulkar's tally of runs in Test cricket, provided the England batting mainstay stays 'hungry' and keeps scoring at a consistent rate for the next four years. Root became only the seventh batter in the history of the conventional format to cross the 12,000-run mark - a feat he achieved recently during the Edgbaston Test against the West Indies. With 12,027 runs in 143 Tests at 50.11 with 32 centuries and 63 fifties so far, Root is also overall the seventh highest run-scorer in Tests and could overtake Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (12,400 runs) and his former teammate Alastair Cook (12,472) soon.
