(Reuters) - Former test skipper Joe Root has ruled himself out of contention for England's white-ball captaincy, saying the ship has sailed to take over the role following Jos Buttler's resignation.
England need a new limited-overs captain after Buttler stepped down during their dismal Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan, where they lost all three matches, but Root expected the team to bounce back from their failure.
