Former England cricket Test captain Joe Root has received an MBE for his services to cricket.

The 33-year-old had previously been handed the award as part of the 2020 New Year's Honours list.

It came after the Yorkshire batter had helped England win the 2019 ODI World Cup, with Eoin Morgan' side sealing a dramatic victory over New Zealand in the final at Lord's, after the match went to a Super Over.

Root had also been the leading run scorer for England during the tournament, finishing fifth in the rankings of the top run-scorers, scoring a total of 556.

He also made the team of the tournament, alongside team-mates Jason Roy, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer.

Root was pictured on Wednesday receiving the award alongside his partner, Carrie.

The pair, who have been married since 2018, smiled as the England opener held up his medal at Windsor Castle.

The former England Test captain, who succeeded Alastair Cook in 2017 at the age of 23, also holds the record for the highest number of matches and wins as England's Test captain.

Root made his first-class cricket debut for Yorkshire back in 2009 in a game against Essex and has since gone on to enjoy a glittering career, making his Test debut for England against India at Nagpur back in 2012.
