MELBOURNE, Dec 29, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Veteran England batsman Joe Root has said it would be "silly" to change England's management team after losing the Ashes, with players "absolutely committed" to the current set-up. The team restored some pride with a frantic four-wicket win in Melbourne, snapping an 18-match winless streak on Australian soil. "In terms of the playing group, we're absolutely committed to the management," Root, England's all-time leading Test run-scorer and a former captain, told English media in Melbourne. "Yes, we can be better and there are certain areas that we'll continue to keep working at, but the management work extremely hard. I think it would be silly (to consider change) for the amount of hard work and things that have been done."
