Joseph Edward Root (born 30 December 1990) is an English cricketer, who plays for Yorkshire County Cricket Club and England. He was originally a right-handed opening batsman and occasional off-spinner, with a similar playing style to former England captain Michael Vaughan. However, he has played the majority of his cricket for England in the middle order. He made his debut for England in the 2012 Test series in India and made his ODI and Twenty20 International debuts on the same tour, before scoring his maiden Test century at his home ground of Headingley the following Spring against New Zealand.
Early life, family and youth career
Root is of Australian ancestry, the elder son of Helen and Matt. His brother Billy is an MCC Young Cricketer.[1]
Root followed in his father's footsteps by joining Sheffield Collegiate C.C. Former Yorkshire batsman and England captain, Michael Vaughan also learnt his trade at Collegiate and was a source of inspiration for Root who became a protégé of his.[2][3]
Yorkshire career
Root made his Yorkshire Second Team debut on 18 July 2007, against Derbyshire at Abbeydale Park. He scored 57, putting on 133 for the first wicket with Adam Lyth.[4] He continued to represent the Academy side and was named Player of the Tournament as Yorkshire's Academy won the ProARCH trophy in Abu Dhabi.[5]
After success at second team level, Root was given an opportunity in the first team in Yorkshire's final Pro40 match of the season at Headingley, against Essex. Root scored 63 and was top-scorer in Yorkshire's 187–7. Although his half-century could not inspire Yorkshire to victory, Root described his debut as a "dream come true".[6]
After another Man of the Series performance, this time on England Under-19 duty in Bangladesh, Root signed a three-year professional contract with Yorkshire.[7]
Root was selected for the Under 19 Cricket World Cup, in New Zealand, making an unbeaten 70 in a victory against Hong Kong as England progressed to the quarter finals before being eliminated by the West Indies. Later that Winter, he was sent to the Darren Lehmann Academy in Adelaide, South Australia, to fine tune his game.[8]

India 2012–13
In the fourth Test against India, Root became the 655th player to represent England at Test cricket, receiving his cap from former England all-rounder Paul Collingwood. Coming in as the number 6 batsmen rather than his usual position as an opener, he scored 73 from 229 balls, joint-top-scoring with Kevin Pietersen.[9] In the second innings he made 20 not out to help England bat out the game to secure a historic series win on Indian soil. Following the Tests, he made his Twenty20 debut in the second of a two-match series, although he was not required to bat, and following Jonny Bairstow's withdrawal, he was also included in the ODI squad.[10] On his ODI debut he was not required to bat, although he bowled nine overs, collecting figures of 0–51, as England won by nine runs. He made scores of 36 and 39 in the next two matches, before making his maiden ODI fifty in the fourth match of the series, although England lost by 5 wickets. He made 31 in the final match of the series as England won by seven wickets.
New Zealand 2013
Following the successful tour of India, Root was retained in the Test squad for the 2013 Tour to New Zealand and was added to the previously announced ODI and Twenty20 squads. After again being an unused batsman in the third Twenty20 game, he started the ODI series with two half-centuries, contributing 56 in the first game before top-scoring with 79 off 56 balls in the second. In doing so, he became the first batsman to start his ODI career with six consecutive scores of over 30.[11]
Not long after the series in New Zealand, the Black Caps travelled to tour England. Root's first involvement of the tour was to captain the England Lions against New Zealand in a four-day warm up match, where he scored 179 runs. After scoring 40 and 71 runs in the first Test at Lord's, he scoring his maiden Test century at his home ground of Headingley.[12] He scored 104 runs off 167 ball and became the first Yorkshire player to score their first Test century at Headingley. He finished the series as England's top scorer with 243 runs and helped his side to a 2–0 Test series victory. In the ODI series that followed, he made scores of 30, 28 and 33 as England lost the series 2–1.[13]
Champions Trophy 2013
For the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy England named Root in their squad of 15. In their opening group game against Australia, he made 12 runs off 17 balls and also took the wicket of Phillip Hughes as England secured a 48 run win.[14] He also featured against Sri Lanka and hit 68 runs off 55 balls in England's 7 wicket loss.[15] Root then helped England to a 10 run victory over New Zealand by making 38 runs off 40 balls which helped them secure a place in the semi-final.[16] In the semi-final against South Africa Root scored 48 off 71 balls to help England to a 7 wicket win and secured a place in the final.[17] The final was reduced to 20 overs due to rain and Root made 7 off 9 balls before getting caught out, England lost the match by 5 runs and Joe finished the tournament with 173 runs.[18]
The 2013 Ashes Series
For the 2013 Ashes series, Root was named as the opening batsman to partner captain Alastair Cook after selectors decided to drop Nick Compton from the England squad. In the warm-up match against Essex Root made scores of 41 and 26 while also taking 4 wickets. Root was promoted to opening batsman for the 1st Test and made scores of 30 and 5, and whilst bowling, took his first Test wicket when he got Ed Cowan out in the second innings.[19] Root started the 2nd Test with a score of 6 which once again meant that he failed to make a score as an opener. However, in the second innings Alastair Cook did not enforce the follow on and Root made 180 before England declared. In the Australian final innings Root was responsible for taking the wickets of Usman Khawaja and Michael Clarke when both batsmen were on 50 plus scores. Root was named Man of the Match for his performance with the bat and the ball.[20] The 3rd Test wasn't the best for Joe as he was out for 8 in the first innings but managed to get 13 (not out) off 57 balls in the second innings before rain brought the match to an end meaning that England retained the Ashes.[21] The 4th Test wasn't a very good one for Root as he survived 52 balls scoring 16 runs in the first innings before being bowled for 2 runs in the second innings. England won the match and won the series meaning Joe is an Ashes series winner.[22] In the 5th Test Root top scored in England's first innings as he hit 68 runs, however in England's second innings they were chasing a score the Australians had set but Joe only managed to get 11 runs.[23] He finished the test series with 339 runs and 3 wickets.
Root was selected to bat at number 4 for the first T20 International. The Australian side set England 249 to win thanks to an outstanding innings of 156 runs from Aaron Finch. Root came in with England 37/3 and he managed to score 90* off 49 balls but England lost by 39 runs.[24] In the second T20I Joe batted at number 7 but only faced 1 ball scoring 1 run before England's innings finished[25] England won the match and drew the series, Root finished with 91 runs (both matches he was not out) and 1 wicket. The first ODI was abandoned due to rain however Root managed to bat at number 4 in the second ODI. He only made 3 runs before being bowled.[26] The third ODI was abandoned in England's 15th over, Root had made 12 runs before being caught.[27] In the fourth ODI Root was bowled for 0, his first golden duck in his ODI career.[28] The 5th ODI was better for Root as he scored a quick 21 before being bowled and also took the wicket of George Bailey.[29]

In the 2nd innings he made a steady 26* off 86 balls before running out of partners in England's collapse where Australia took a 1–0 series lead.[30] The 2nd Test in Adelaide saw Root move up the order to third batsman, filling the spot of Jonathan Trott who returned home due to stress related illness.[31] He scored only 15 runs, which was the third highest number of runs scored by an England batsman in the first innings, in a disappointing collapse by the English side.[32] However Root's second innings showed some fight as he top scored with 87 and was unlucky not to push on to make a century.[33] England lost this match and went 2–0 down with 3 Tests to play. Root was out controversially for 4 in the first innings of the 3rd Test and made 19 in the second innings, England lost the match and as a result lost the Ashes.[34] Root made a solid 24 in the first innings of the 4th Test however he only made 15 in the second innings and was run out attempting to go for a single.
