Broad short term for me.
It's too much for Stokes, never a fan of an all rounder taking it on, esp one who brings as much as Stokes does, its and added distraction.
It's a shame for Root, the only player who's game seemed to get better with the burden of captaincy.
Sadly the ECB has marginalised the longer format for too long and I think it will be a long time before we see the Test team turned around.
Option B. Beg Cookie to come back, still reckon he'd do a better job than any of our current openers |  |

If you think the captain has to be an automatic choice, the options are severely limited. Stokes obviously, but does he want the pressure & attention.
Broad is 35 & wasn't even picked for the last tour, so not a realistic option.
I would say Bairstow as a short term option, or maybe Foakes, who should be England's long term Test keeper. |  |
