I never retired, never said I don't want to play ODI cricket: Root
Ahead of England's Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Australia, batter Joe Root, who returned for his first ODI match since the 2023 World Cup in India earlier this month, said he "never retired" from ODIs. "I've never said I don’t want to play the format," he added. "I don’t think any player has a divine right for selection," Root stated.
