England's chances in the Champions Trophy have been bolstered by Joe Root's return, with the team's experience and talent being key factors in their potential success, as they aim to turn their fortunes around and make a significant impact in the tournament.
Joe Root, England's most successful batter, has returned to one-day internationals after a four-month break, determined to help his team succeed in the ongoing Champions Trophy, bringing his expertise and experience to the table as they face strong opponents like Australia.
Root, who has become the first English batter to score 20,500 international runs, emphasizes that despite losing four consecutive 50-over series, the team's morale remains high.
