Tactically he never had it: Boycott on Root's Test captaincy

Ex-England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott said Joe Root never had the tactical ability to be England's Test skipper. He added Root didn't have the instinct for changing situations in the match. "Captaincy is tactical awareness and man management of players," he further said. Root led England in 64 Tests, won 27 and lost 26, both a record for an English captain.
