Never Really Seen Any Leadership Qualities In Joe Root, Says Brendon McCullum

By IANS News December 13, 2021 • 10:34 AM View: 1465

Former New Zealand player Brendon McCullum has said that while the cricketing fraternity speaks highly about Joe Root as a "very good leader", he hasn't seen that quality in the England Test captain.

England suffered a humiliating nine-wicket loss in the opening Ashes Test at The Gabba in Brisbane on the back of the captain curiously deciding to rest his pace spearheads, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, both of whom share over 1,100 Test wickets among themselves.
