Sportskeeda's Test XI of the year

#3 Joe Root

A prolific run scorer for the team

The England number 3 was the best Test batsman in the year and emerged as the leading run-scorer in the format.

His consistency was a real boon for England and he kept coming out and scoring runs at number 3, which is one of the most crucial positions in the team.

However, his conversion rate was not as great, but his string of scores was a testament to his consistency.
