There’s no better time to hear from one of the greatest run-makers the game has ever seen. How he prepares. How he adapts. How he’s hardened by past Ashes'. And how life under Brendon McCullum has completely rejuvenated him and the England set-up.

Across more than a decade at the top, Root has piled up mountains of Test runs, rewritten English cricket history, and carried the hopes of a nation with a smile and a steely determination. But behind the numbers sits a bloke who is down-to-earth, driven and constantly learning.

England’s batting giant, record-breaker, and modern master joins Howie for a wide-ranging, honest and insightful conversation.

It’s a terrific look into the mindset of one of the greatest English batters of all time, right as the biggest, most anticipated Ashes series in recent memory is about to start.
