## Resource

What makes Joe Root an abnormal Test skipper – and could a non-Yorkshireman replace Ben Stokes? Jarrod Kimber examines what a potential return to captaincy might mean for Root’s batting and explains where newly-retired Kane Williamson stacks up against fellow “Fab Four” members Root, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. Plus, James Coyne and Huw Turbervill discuss whether someone other than Root or Harry Brook could replace Stokes and offer a sneak peak at some of the brilliant features in the August issue of The Cricketer.
