Joe Root’s captaincy received a harsh critique from Waugh. He acknowledged that Root had been a fantastic “role model” for cricketers, but that England needed “a new captain” and that Root had “lacked a feel for the game” at some point.
Waugh used the following hashtag on Twitter: “
“There’s no doubt that @root66 is a top notch player, human being, and role model for young English cricketers, but despite the restricted options, I believe England requires a new captain. Joe lacked a sense of the game and was unwilling to take a chance in order to win.”
