Joe Root vowed to put his own stamp on the England captaincy on his first official day in the role.

Root, 26, struck a confident tone as he answered questions on a range of topics including:
- How he has tried to think as an England captain in recent years despite only having captaincy experience in four first-class games to date
- How he intends to make his tenure distinctive from those that have gone before
- His plans for motivating a team that his predecessor, Alastair Cook, said had stagnated in the latter stages of his reign
- His excitement at leading a squad containing a blend of quality senior players and emerging talent
