ENG vs IND: No More Platitudes, No More Being Nice Says Geoffrey Boycott To England

By IANS News September 08, 2021 • 20:07 PM View: 2918

Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said that Joe Root and his team need to stop being nice. He added that Root and head coach Chris Silverwood need to take a leaf out of Virat Kohli's warrior attitude.

"Virat Kohli has been a warrior captain going into battle and saying to his players: 'Follow me. Believe in me. I'm up for the challenge.' Joe Root and the coach Chris Silverwood have to do the same. No more platitudes, no more being nice," wrote Boycott in his column for The Telegraph on Wednesday.
