The player
England's most prolific Test run-scorer of all time. Root parted ways with long-time sponsor Gunn & Moore in 2024 and signed with New Balance, whose TC 1260 profile he now carries through the Bazball era.
Quietly the most technically complete batter of his generation, with a Test average above 50 and 35+ Test hundreds.
