It was 34 years old in more than six years despite suffering from two serious hamstring injuries in the last 12 months.Root, who captained England before Stokes, said that he was amazed by the flexibility of the all-rounder and remembered how difficult it was to stop him from overseing.“You can try, but it doesn’t matter. I tried for five years,” Root said.“I have mentioned it, but he does not always listen to me. When I was the captain, he did not listen to me!
