Silly to change England management – Root

Following the Ashes series defeat, England players are “absolutely committed” to the team’s management, according to Joe Root, and any changes would be “silly” made.

After the first three Tests in Australia ended under pressure, captain Ben Stokes, head coach Brendon McCullum, and cricket director Rob Key have all been under pressure.

However, England ended an 18-game winless streak down under, which dates back to 2011, by winning the fourth Test, a two-day outing in Melbourne.

After the Ashes, all of Stokes, McCullum, and Key have said they want to stay on, and their cases will be strengthened by a fifth Test win in Sydney, which will start on Sunday (23:30 GMT, Saturday).

We’re completely committed to the management, according to England’s all-time leading Test run-scorer, Bless Root.

“Yes, we can be better, and there are some things we’ll work on in the future,” management said.

They may behave differently, but I believe the group has made great strides as a whole because of the men who are our supporters.

Root led England’s final appearance in Australia, which ended with a 4-0 defeat in 2021-22. While Root would later resign, the tour cost coach Chris Silverwood and cricket director Ashley Giles’ jobs.

The Test team was initially revitalized by Stokes, McCullum, and Key after they all arrived for the summer of 2022. McCullum was given a contract extension until 2027, which included his 2024 appointment as head coach of the white-ball teams.

Just before this Ashes series, Stokes matched his England deal with that time period.

If fitness is good, Stokes will likely lead the Ashes’ team, which will complicate the situation with a T20 World Cup opener in India and Sri Lanka in the first half of the year.

England’s coaches and cricket directors are responsible for both their planning, preparation, and off-field activities as well as their results.

However, Root defended the England leadership by saying, “You look at the group of players we have, you look at the guys that were on the team when I was the captain, four years ago, and you look at their records individually, and every one of them has improved as a player.

This team has grown,” he said. The amount of work and tasks that have been accomplished would be absurd, in my opinion.

Root, who first visited Australia in 2013 and 2014, played in all but one of the 18 games without winning.

The Yorkshireman turns 35 on Tuesday, and he looks certain to be a part of England’s attempt to win the urn in the summer of 2027, when the country will host the Ashes for the first time in 12 years.

Root will be almost 39 when England next travels to Australia in 2029-30.

Root was questioned about finally winning at least one tour in this country because it was uncertain whether or not he would make another one. He responded, “It would be better if we win next week as well.”

It’s historically been very difficult for us to win this series because it is steeped in history. If we can continue doing that and build on it the next time, we can move forward with that for the upcoming tour here.

“There are things we’ll have to work on to learn and grow from, but I try not to make too many regrets.” You must look forward, in my opinion.
