England v India - Headingley, Leeds, Britain - August 28, 2021 England's Joe Root celebrates after winning the match.

Joe Root has stepped down as England’s test captain, the country’s cricket board said on Friday.

Root came under pressure after England slumped to a 4-0 defeat in the last Ashes series and lost 1-0 in West Indies, with former captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain among many associated with the sport who said it was time for a leadership change.

Thank You, @root66 ❤️
