5 reasons why Joe Root should be given the England captaincy

#3 An aggressive approach

The team under Root would be more liberated

The England ODI team under Trevor Bayliss and Eoin Morgan have turned a corner in One Day Internationals. This is due to the radical shift in their approach towards the format. Bayliss and Morgan have infused a sense of freedom into the team.

Much along the same lines, the Test team could undergo a change if Root takes over. Alastair Cook's captaincy is more like an extension of his batting. He likes to wait for the opposition to make a mistake and then goes for the kill. This attitude is brought into his captaincy as well, and thus he has been placed under a lot of scrutinies.

Joe Root is more aggressive player and thus he could bring this approach into captaincy as well and could infuse a more positive attitude into the players.
