England Begin New Test Cricket Era with Old Captain and No Stokes The sound of reset buttons being pressed has become all too familiar in English cricket over the past few years.
One such button was pressed again recently, as Joe Root takes on his second stint as Test captain following Ben Stokes' departure from both the team and the role.
England's fortunes have been in decline, with only two wins in their last 10 matches. Their implosion against New Zealand at Trent Bridge was particularly galling, and it's clear that something needs to change.
