Joe Root

One of the best things about the current England team is the all-round abilities of most of the players and the team's best batsman Joe Root epitomises it. Root is usually called upon to bowl by his limited overs captain Eoin Morgan when all other options seem ineffective but his classic right arm off spin has often helped England in stopping the opposition from running away with the game.

An economy rate of 5.66 in ODIs in this era is perfectly acceptable for a part-timer and in the years to come, Root should emerge as one of the best part-time bowlers in world cricket.
