To be fair, once you've been made skipper you're always gonna be the first name written on the team sheet!

It is very likely Root will be captain, so in 4 years time he will be 30 and ready to play just as a batsman again for another 6 years.

Do England really need to name a vice captain? It doesn't mean anything.

I suppose it matters more in sub continent where a skipper may need to leave the pitch as a matter of 'urgency' .... leaving the vice captain to bring himself onto bowl...

Woakes is certain of a place in our test team. Not really saying he has any chance of the captaincy, but to think he shouldn't be in the team isn't fair.

I wouldn't go as far as to say certain. I reckon if everyone is fit the attack would be Anderson, broad, wood, Stokes and Ali.
