“They are yelling, ‘SACK THE COACH!'” DESTROY THE CAPTAIN! Who else is going to be a better coach or captain for England’s Test team? I’ll agree if you name some world-class players to replace the current underperformers. But there isn’t one! Kevin Pietersen stated on Twitter.
Since 2015, England has not won the Ashes series.
Despite the recent Ashes series thrashing, Joe Root remains England’s most successful Test captain, with 27 wins in 61 matches. Alastair Cook comes in second on the list with 24 victories in 59 games.
England lost a four-match Test series in India last year, and New Zealand defeated them in a two-match series at home ahead of the World Test Championship final in June.
Later that month, when the Indian Test team, led by Virat Kohli, toured England. The hosts won only one of four Tests and lost two. The fifth and final match of the series, however, was postponed due to positive cases in the Indian camp.
