Former captain Michael Vaughan has argued that England Test skipper Joe Root should also get to pick his best players irrespective of ECB`s rotation policy, just like limited overs leader Eoin Morgan "gets what he wants".
In a column for Telegraph, Vaughan wrote England fielded a weakened team in the four Tests against India with the likes of Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali returning home in the middle of the series only to be back for the limited overs leg of the tour. "It is very clear where the leadership power lies in English cricket - it is with Eoin Morgan and not Joe Root. "I am pretty sure that Morgan went to the selectors and Ashley Giles and said he wanted his best team at all times this year in Twenty20, so he could build for the World Cup in India in October. He has his wish," the Ashes winning skipper wrote. India won the series 3-1 to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
