Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott wants Joe Root to leave the captain after Ashes 2021-22 humiliation in Australia.
Australia are leading 3-0 with two matches to go. The hosts thumped the visitors by an innings and 14 runs in the third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
“Now Australia are 3-0 up, and will Root please stop saying Australia are not much better than us? Stop trying to kid us,” Boycott wrote in his column in The Telegraph.
“I think the time has come for Joe Root to leave the captaincy, Except Root, England can’t bat. Our bowling his ordinary.”
Boycott said many of Root’s decisions were wrong.”He has led England in 59 Tests and 13 against Australia but has failed.”
