There’s plenty of time for someone else to break Joe Root’s Test record: Ben Stokes
Recently, Root has become the player who has scored the most test runs for England. Ben Stokes and Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter X) Veteran batsman Joe Root has recently overtaken former England captain Alastair Cook in terms of scoring the most runs in Test cricket. Root achieved this feat on the third day of the first Test match against Pakistan at Multan Cricket Stadium. As soon as Root scored 71 runs in the match, he became the first player from England to score the highest runs in Test cricket. Before Root, Cook had scored a total of 12472 runs while playing 161 Test matches for England. But it took only 147 matches for Root to leave this figure behind. Apart from this, Root has now reached 5th position in terms of scoring most runs in Test cricket. He is just 816 runs behind former Indian player Rahul Dravid (13288), who is at fourth place. On the other hand, after Root made this great record, England’s Test captain and all-rounder Ben Stokes has given a big statement. Stokes says that people have a lot of time to break his record. Ben Stokes gave a big statement regarding Joe Root Let us tell you that after Joe Root made this record, Ben Stokes while talking to ECB said – Yes, I have played a lot of cricket with Joe Root. And have played against him a lot too. We have grown up together. To score so many runs you would think that he would have to be a little selfish as a player, but not so, he is completely dedicated to the team. Stokes further said- From my perspective when I saw how many centuries Joe Root has scored and how many matches we have won. Were we over or under the line because of his century, but when I look at him he is like a stick. The selflessness that he possesses is an incredible quality. He always puts the team first. The fact is that he has scored so many runs and there is plenty of time for someone else to break his record. He is an incredible player.

Ben Stokes set to sign two-year contract with England that could extend till Ashes 2025-26: Reports
Stokes is currently the captain of the England Test cricket team Ben Stokes (Photo Source: Getty Images) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is bringing a new contract policy for the recently contracted players. In this new policy, players will be able to sign contracts with the board for more than one year. So now, according to the latest media reports, England cricket team captain and veteran all-rounder Ben Stokes can sign a two-year contract deal with the ECB. Also, Stokes’ contract can be extended till the Ashes series to be held during the year 2025-26. You may remember that last time in the ECB’s contract policy, star cricketers Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood had signed contracts for three years, while Ollie Pope and Jofra Archer had signed contracts for two years. Whereas in October last year, Stokes had signed a contract for only one year. On the other hand, if media reports of The Guardian are to be believed, Stokes may sign an extended central contract for two years this time. If Stokes signs a two-year contract with the ECB, then this can definitely be a good time for England’s Test cricket. Because recently the ECB has extended the tenure of red ball cricket head coach Brendon McCullum till 2027 not only in red ball but also in white ball. McCullum replaced Matthew Mott in the team. It is worth noting that the board was very unhappy with the disappointing performance of the team in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024 under the head coaching of Mott. However, Stokes is not in England’s white ball scheme at the moment. But it will be interesting to see how England will perform in the upcoming ICC events Champions Trophy 2025, T20 World Cup 2026 and World Cup 2027 under the head coaching of former Kiwi captain Brendon McCullum?
