Joe Root set to become England captain again after Ben Stokes' retirement; why not Harry Brook?

Star England batter Joe Root is very likely to be named the next captain of the Test side. Former international Ben Stokes announced his retirement after the New Zealand series, leaving the door open for a new captain. However, the England and Wales Cricket Board is considering bringing Root back as leader, even though it was Harry Brook who was serving as Stokes deputy.
