Root Confident Of Breaking Ashes Century Drought As England Eye Redemption In Australia
New Delhi: Joe Root says he feels “better placed than ever” to finally score a Test hundred in Australia as he prepares for what he described as a “mentally fatiguing” Ashes series later this year.
The former England captain, who will play his fourth Ashes series Down Under when the contest begins in Perth on November 21, admitted that questions about his failure to register a century in Australia are bound to resurface - but insists his focus remains firmly on helping England reclaim the urn.
“I feel I am in a different place to when I last went out there,” Root said while speaking to Sky Sports at a celebrity padel event in Sheffield. “I haven’t got the responsibility of captaincy and I am a lot more experienced. I have had a good couple of years coming in and I have learned good lessons from my previous tours there as a batter and senior player.”
