'We're very aligned': Joe Root reveals why Fleming won him over instantly
Joe Root hailed incoming England Test coach Stephen Fleming as a major reason for his enthusiasm to lead the side again.
England confirmed Stephen Fleming as their new Test coach after parting ways with Brendon McCullum last month.
Root returned as England captain in June after Ben Stokes was removed following a nightclub brawl, and retained the role for his second stint.
Root praised Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes for transforming England's Test setup over the past four years.
England's next assignment is a home series against Pakistan in August.
