Ricky Ponting (Australian legend and most successful skipper of the game), has spoken out about his views on the England Test captainship. Ponting believes Ben Stokes should be captain of the English test team.

He made the comments after England’s disastrous Ashes Test series. Although the fourth Test is currently underway, England has already lost the first three matches as well as the series.

“I think it is time. Ponting, when asked if Joe Root was the right man for this job, stated that he thinks he has been in the job for four to five years.

Joe Root’s record over the last couple of years as captain is not impressive. England lost two series against India and lost against New Zealand. They have already lost the highly-anticipated Ashes series of 2021-2022. Questions about Joe Root’s captaincy are therefore not obvious.

Day 4 of Ashes Test #4 from Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), is underway. Australia holds a lead of 230+ runs in the second wicket. It is not looking very bright for England, even though Jack Leach (Mark Wood) and Jack Leach were able to take quick wickets during Day 4. England can easily lose this Test in Sydney due to their current form.

Australia holds a 3-0 advantage in the series. They have retained the series but would love to be dominant in the remaining Test matches.
