Root affirmed he will be at the birth paying little heed to the thump on cricketing suggestions, just
as embracing the initiative certifications of chief Ben Stokes, who might step in if Root is inaccessible.

"He hauls individuals with him and gets the best out of the players around him.
"That is an incredible quality to have as a leader and something he can take into captaincy if he somehow happened to get the chance. I could see him doing a generally excellent activity."
