Ben Stokes has been appointed the new captain of the England men's Test team, succeeding Joe Root in the role.
New managing director of men's cricket Rob Key met with Stokes earlier this week and the all-rounder has now agreed to take on the position.
Stokes said in a statement he was "honoured" to become captain, while also thanking Root for the "massive part" he played in his development as a leader.
