Ollie Pope Seeks Joe Root Advice On How To Balance Batting And Captaincy

By AFP News August 29, 2024 • 08:18 AM View: 769

Ollie Pope has asked Joe Root for guidance on how best to balance the demands of batting and captaincy after an awkward first outing as stand-in England skipper against Sri Lanka.

Pope, in the first of three matches deputising for the injured Ben Stokes, led England to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka at Old Trafford last week as they went 1-0 up with two Tests to play.
