Captaincy Had Started To 'take A Toll On Me'; 'felt Like A Bit Of A Zombie', Admits Joe Root

Former England skipper Joe Root has revealed he had to relinquish Test captaincy as it had started to "take a toll" on him and also made him feel "like a bit of a zombie almost".

The 31-year-old batter, while scoring runs aplenty, saw England's fortunes in the longest format of the game nose-dive during the latter part of his captaincy tenure, with the 4-0 Ashes loss in Australia and the 1-0 defeat to the West Indies being his most prominent debacles.
