Joe Root has admitted the England Test captaincy sucked the life out of him and when he realised that it was affecting his family life, he chose to resign from the post.

On April 16, Root stepped down as England's Test captain after leading the side in 64 matches, registering 27 wins, the most by any men's Test captain from the country in the longest format of the game.
