England all-rounder Chris Woakes has supported Joe Root to continue as the team's test skipper despite their humiliating Ashes capitulation to Australia.
Root, who was reluctant to discuss the long-term future of his captaincy after the Ashes defeat in the third test, has not won any of his three Ashes series in charge.Asked if the England team would support Root's continuation as skipper, Woakes told British media on Wednesday,"Absolutely. Root has proved a virtual lone hand with the bat and, after scoring 50 and 28 in Melbourne, he finishes the calendar year with 1,708 runs - the third-highest after Mohammad Yousuf and Viv Richards .
"But Joe is a great cricketer, he's got a great cricket brain. I think his record as England captain is pretty good, as far as I'm aware. I definitely feel like Joe will continue."
