Joe Root Complete Bio & Career

Joe Root, hails from a rich cricketing background. His grandfather captained Rotherham CC in the Yorkshire League for several seasons whilst his younger brother, Billy, is a MCC young cricketer. There was no looking back as Root's meteoric rise continued unabated. A thoroughly emphatic Man of the Series performance for England Under-19 against Bangladesh Under-19 in 2010 witnessed the 'boy wonder' land a three-year professional contract with Yorkshire.
 
It was not long before Root's consistency earned him a Test berth as he was picked for England's historic Indian sojourn in 2012. Alastair Cook and his merry men surmounted tremendous odds to taste victory in the Test series. In the subsequent ODI series, Root compiled four successive scores of 30 plus, including his maiden half-century in the fourth ODI. Root's right-arm off-breaks also presented a more than useful bowling option to Cook. Root has gone from strength-to-strength in 2014, he started the summer with an unbeaten 200 against Sri Lanka at Lord's and followed it up with two more hundreds against India. He has also been the standout in the 50-over format as well.
 
The youngest player in the 15-member squad of England in the 2015 World Cup, Root was one of the two English batters to score more than 200 runs in the competition. Root an exception in a team that is flooded with aggressive-and-powerful batsmen. This is despite him scoring 3498 runs from 74 innings at a strike-rate of 91 - England’s highest run-getter - since the 2015 World Cup. He batted at No. 3 at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup and was the main reason why England enjoyed success at the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
