“Firstly, Ben Stokes’ ODI return is a large increase for England as they appear to defend the 50-over title they gained so dramatically when beating New Zealand within the ultimate 4 years in the past, a sport wherein he was so influential. Stokes virtually single-handedly dragged them over the road on that memorable day at Lord’s, scoring 84 not out earlier than returning so as to add some essential super-over runs.
“It is with the bat that it seems like Stokes’ function will likely be restricted to this time round, the all-rounder nonetheless suffering from an damage to his left knee, and his return has spelled unhealthy information for Harry Brook.

The Surrey speedster despatched down a supply clocked at 95mph for Oval Invincibles in The Hundred not too long ago and provides additional hearth to the England assault alongside Mark Wooden.
