Joe Root: England Test captain right to remove curfew, says Nasser Hussain ahead of three-Test Pakistan series

Nasser Hussain hailed new England Test captain Joe Root's decision to abolish a team curfew but fears the returning skipper sometimes lacks a feel for the game as a leader like his predecessor Ben Stokes.

Root has captained England on a record 65 occasions, most recently during their second Test defeat to New Zealand earlier this summer after Stokes and Gus Atkinson were suspended for breaking a team curfew that was introduced off the back of the 4-1 Ashes defeat in the winter.
