Veteran England batter Joe Root will captain England once again in the three-match Test series against Pakistan. Root will have an opportunity to make history in the opening Test of the home series, which begins on Wednesday, August 19. Root will become the first player in history to score 3,000 runs as a captain in the World Test Championship (WTC) if he scores at least 42 runs in the opening Test match against Pakistan at Headingley in Leeds. Root currently leads the list of players with the most runs in the WTC.
