When asked about whether England had ever tampered with the ball illegally during his long international career, Root denied having such an experience. He said, "I can only speak from my own experiences, and that’s not how I feel, no.”

Joe Root set to create special memory in Australia
Root added, “I played my 100th ODI here in Sydney, and to be back here for my 200th game is obviously a huge privilege. As a kid playing in the back garden or on the driveway ... to then get the opportunity to come all around the world is a real privilege. I’m very proud of that, and hopefully, we can continue our development as a team over the next little while.”
He also praised England's preparation ahead of the white-ball series. Root signed off by saying, “We’ve had a brilliant little time leading into this white-ball series, and in 50-over cricket, you don’t really get the preparation phase that we’ve managed to have here, which has been great.”
