Last week, Root said he was considering entering the mega auction but added he would look to play in the tournament only if it does not distract him from his Test career. However, the wait to see the 31-year-old feature in the lucrative league increased further as he has decided to prioritise the English Test team, which just succumbed to an embarrassing 0-4 Ashes defeat .
바카라There's a lot that we need to do for this team, which deserves all of my energy,바카라 Root said at the post-match conference after his side's 146-run loss to Australia in the fifth Test on Sunday.
바카라I바카라ll keep sacrificing as much as I can because I care so much about Test cricket in our country and trying to get us to where we want to be,바카라 added the star batter, confirming he has turned down the chance to enter the IPL 2022 auction.
England바카라s below-par performance in Test cricket this past year has led to questions on his leadership but Root has expressed his desire to continue as the English red-ball captain. 바카라It's very difficult when you get beaten as heavily as we have done on this tour to convince people I'm the right man.
바카라But I can tell you one thing for sure 바카라 as long as I have the opportunity to captain this team, I will throw everything into it and give everything - for everyone supporting us, for the guys around me, for the players 바카라 to try and provide an environment that allows us to be successful,바카라 Root said.
The Indian Premier League has expanded to 10 teams starting this year and the mega-auction ahead of the upcoming season is scheduled to be held on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru.
