England captain Root shrugs off concerns over lbw run

England captain Joe Root has dismissed concerns over his recent run of being trapped lbw nine times in his last 12 innings, stating his extensive test career and impressive record of over 14,000 runs demonstrate his ability to navigate difficult spells. The 35-year-old told BBC that he has always found ways to solve problems and work through them, highlighting his two half-centuries during the home summer.

Root's comments come after England secured a home test series win over Pakistan at Lord's, where he managed scores of four and 24 before being out lbw in both innings. The team's focus remains on celebrating successes responsibly, with Root emphasizing the importance of a mature approach to the game following the controversy surrounding fast bowler Brydon Carse.
