Root vs Williamson – Two of the World’s best set to go head-to-head

Two of the world’s best batsmen are set to go head-to-head at Emerald Headingley next year when Joe Root’s England take on Kane Williamson’s New Zealand in an LV= Insurance Test Match.

The pair, who have shared a dressing room at Yorkshire on numerous occasions in the past, are regarded by many as two of the finest batsmen in the world. Something that the ICC rankings would agree with.
