Hungry to make the next phase of my career the peak: Joe Root

India TV News  

England skipper Joe Root said on Saturday that his best with the bat is yet to come and he wants to make the next phase of his career the peak. England play New Zealand in two Test matches from June 2, follow it up with five Test matches against India in August-September and an equal number of Tests against Australia in the Ashes that starts on December 8. Root got scores of 228, 186, and 218 in successive Tests in Sri Lanka and India before overly spin-friendly surfaces in the last three matches of the series in India did England's batting in. "I was obviously disappointed with the way India finished, but I do feel we are making big strides as a Test group, and we are coming into an exciting phase of games, which could really see us flourish."
