Stuart Broad has called for more of his England players to follow the example set by Joe Root ahead of the one-day international series against the West Indies.
Root struggled with the bat during the disastrous tour of Australia but a century in a warm-up victory over a University of West Indies Vice Chancellor's XI should be an example of how to take responsibility in a match, according to Broad.
"It was something we lacked - players taking on responsibility," the stand-in captain, filling in for the rested Alastair Cook, told reporters.
"There was a lot of 'You didn't do that and you didn't do that' - well Rooty grabbed the bat and got a hundred. Rooty is a fantastic player. He's had a tough winter, all the players out there had a tough winter.
"It was nice to play different opposition and get ourselves ready for what's going to be a tough test against the West Indies."
The ODI series begins on Friday in Antigua.
