Joe Root

England’s Test team skipper Joe Root is enjoying a purple patch in the purest format of the game. Though England has failed to live up to their reputation in the Test matches so far, Joe Root, the batsman, has been absolutely destructive and terrific. Root is the leading run-scorer in Test format in 2021 as the 30-year-old caused carnage on all the tours be it against India, Sri Lanka, or New Zealand.

Joe’s first outing in the international format came in a Test match against India in December 2012. The Dore-born is enjoying a mind-boggling ride on the big stage. He has represented England in 109 Tests, 152 ODIs, and 32 T20 Internationals. The right-hander has 9278 Test, 6109 ODI, and 893 T20I runs to his credit while representing England at the highest level.

Just like his professional life, Root’s personal life is also pretty much sorted and loveable. The part-time spinner tied the knot with his better half Carrie Cotterell in a private and intimate ceremony in 2018. The couple is also parents to two adorable children. They have a son named Alfred William who was born in 2017 while they became parents to a lovely girl child Isabella in July 2020. 

Coming to Root’s wife, Carrie used to work at a bar called The Arc in Headingley Leeds. It is learned that Root and Carrie met each other in Leeds only as Headingley is the home of Yorkshire Cricket Club and Root spent many years of his early cricket career playing for the club. 

The England skipper proposed Carrie just before departing to India for the 2016 edition of the T20 World Cup. The couple sealed their relationship with a ring in 2016 while it was on December 1, 2018, that they decided to enter marital bliss.
