9. Joe Root
Joe Root has been England’s batting lynch-pin in the middle order. Root has been superbly consistent for England in white ball cricket. With his orthodox technique and textbook strokes, he is the ideal man for England to have at the crucial number three position.
Trending
The Yorkshire cricketer likes to start his innings steadily and then launches into the opposition bowling. Besides being at ease against seamers, Root has good footwork and plays spin well. His calming presence helps the likes of Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler to accelerate for England in the middle and later stages of an innings.
