Joe Root


Based off his presser he's not ruling out staying on till 29/30 Ashes when he's 38/39

1,985 runs to overtake Sachin and he's scored 1997 runs in his last 21 tests

England have 12 tests currently scheduled up to end of March 2027.

3 New Zealand (H) June 2026
3 Pakistan (H) Aug/Sept 2026
3 South Africa (H) Dec 26/Jan 27
2 Bangladesh (A) Feb 2027
1 Australia (A) March 2027

Then likely
1 Ireland (H) May/June 2027
5 Australia (H) July/August 2027
5 India (A) Early 2028

So that's 21 to 22 tests you'd imagine he will go past him in this period.
Stays injury free and you would think he is more than capable of blowing a big hole in the deficit this coming summer
