The Sheffield-born star attended Dore Primary and King Ecgbert School during his childhood.

When he turned 15, he earned a sports scholarship at Worksop College after displaying his talents.

Having debuted for Yorkshire’s second team in 2007, he worked his way up to becoming a full-time England international.

The star made their debut for the national Test side in 2012 against India as he became the 655th player to represent England.

Since the adorable throwback pictures, he has gone on to become a record-breaking run scorer for the team.

The player is, of course, Joe Root.

The batter surpassed Sir Alastair Cook’s record of 12472 runs, scoring across 161 matches.

Root, 33, smashed the record in his first innings in the first Test match at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
