While most England internationals would normally take great offence at being described as a ‘Village Cricketer’, Joe Root is only to proud to be labelled as one, and has joined forces with the team at Village Hotel Club to represent the brand’s 28 hotel and gym complexes across the UK. Root, one of the world’s most revered batsmen across all formats of the game, will utilise the modern facilities for important relaxation time throughout his busy summer schedule, while also keeping in shape at the Village Gyms.
