Profile
Joe Root has often been compared to Geoffrey Boycott and Michael Vaughan, two of Yorkshire’s premium batsmen. The right-hand batsman was named in the U-19 squad for the World Cup in New Zealand after performing well against Bangladesh U-19 in 2009.
Root scored close to a 1000 runs for Yorkshire’s first XI that season and was given a chance to play for the England Lions. He made his first-class debut in 2010, and since then became a regular in the Lions setup. Impressing batting coach Graham Thorpe, Root scored 964 first-class runs in the season with a highest score of 222 against Hampshire. In 2012, the 21-year old was then handed a deserving berth in the national squad for the Test series against India, in place of retired Andrew Strauss along with a place in Yorkshire’s T20 squad for the Champions League T20.
