I wouldn't pick him, partly due to his inability to clear the boundary and also to keep him fresh for ODI's and tests.

He should be rested during these games

Need him as fresh as possible for the other formats

And with

Bairstow
Roy
Hales
Morgan
Stokes
Buttler
Moeen


It's hard to see how he gets in the t20 side

Everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

Root might not have brute strength, but knows how to split a field when batting. Remember it was Root who orchestrated England's epic chase against South Africa in the 2016 World Twenty20.
