Ben Stokes has been installed as the odds-on favourite to become the new England Test captain after Joe Root's resignation today, as the England and Wales Cricket Board face a dearth of candidates for the role.
's time as the England skipper has come to an end after a dire run that saw his side win only one Test match in their last 17.

Despite a long period of stunning personal form with the bat, Root leaves his position having lost his last five series in charge. 
The bookies have priced Stokes at 4/6 to take control of the team, with Stuart Broad next favourite on the list at the much longer price of 7/1, with Sam Billings and Zak Crawley following at 8/1.

The huge gap in pricing reflects the lack of viable alternatives to Root, http://wiki.surfslsa.org/index.php?title=Ridley_Scott_To_Produce_3001_Space_Odyssey_Sequel_Miniseries given Broad was acrimoniously dropped for England's recent tour of the Caribbean, while Billings has only one Test cap, and Crawley has yet to prove he is capable of any consistency at the highest level despite his batting talent. 
Despite enjoying some of his best ever personal form, Joe Root's position as Test captain became untenable after a run of numerous defeats
