• Failure in Ashes has put Yorkshireman’s position in question• ‘He’s not come under question from anyone making decisions’
Joe Root is under “no pressure” as
England captain, according to outgoing coach Trevor Bayliss. Failing to return the Ashes has led to the Yorkshireman’s position being discussed, particularly given his batting performances have been somewhat inconsistent.
But Bayliss, who leaves his role after four years following this week’s final Test, says there are no issues. “He’s not come under question from anyone making any decisions,” Bayliss said. “He’s under no pressure at all.”
