This son of Sheffield may have boyish looks and a cheeky sense of fun but underneath he is a steely character who has become, at 24, a leader and an inspiration to the many players of real promise around him. That real character shines through in Root's first book, Bringing Home The Ashes, which not only provides the story of England's triumphant summer, but also an insight into what makes this impressive young man tick.
