Root says outgoing captain Stokes was one of those rare players who makes you think how cricket can be played
Transcript
00:00How does it feel to be saying goodbye to Ben Stokes?
00:03Strange. I've played with and against Ben since being 12 years old.
00:11It's sort of all I've ever known and been in and around this team.
00:14He's obviously been forever present throughout my whole career.
00:18We've been through quite a lot together and various different things on and off the field.
00:25There are many players that you can say have questioned how to play the game
00:30and I think the impact that he's had especially over the last four years
00:36and as a leader has left a massive mark on the game
00:44and clearly his individual performances both as a captain and as a player previous to that
00:53are remarkable really. He's one of those guys you always want in your team.
00:57He can make things happen out of nowhere and clearly we're going to miss him.
