Ben Stokes: Would Captain of England go too much risk ahead of a series of ash -defense ash?

Michael Atherton says that England has to take a potential risk for the chances of ash if Ben Stokes surrenders to the captain in a one -day international cryr.

General Director of England, Rob Key, suggested that the test skipper is a candidate who will run in a 50 -year -old game after Jos Buttler’s resignation from both roles of white ball after leaving the group stage in the champion trophy.

Stokes transformed the foreign English red ball together with the brandon McCullum since 2022, when the couple took over the team that won one of its previous 17 matches.

However, the versatile sustained two serious injuries to the lower leg late, after a long period dealing with a chronic knee problem, and Atherton has the Stokes working load on the eve of a test series that defined the Australia era since November.

ATHERS: England will not win ash without cattle as a captain

Said former English captain Atherton Sky Sports News: “There is no doubt that Stokes is an outstanding captain, an extraordinary leader, in the English cry.

“This is not a problem. The question is about his fitness because he had quite serious knee injuries and struggled to go through a cricket that was asked to play.

“In the end, the Key-McCullum-Stokes project will be defined by 10 tests this year-Pet against India at home and then ashes far away.

“Many of the structures they have set up are designed to get the right to ashes that side, so this is a question.

“This is what you lose if you are injured and cannot be a captain against India and Australia, because without Stokes the captain in Australia, I don’t think England will win.”

Key: Stokes one of the best captains I’ve ever seen

Speaking earlier this week, Key told reporters, “I think nothing is from the table (in terms of the English captain). You look at every single option and think,” What is best to do? ”

“Ben Stokes is one of the best captains I’ve ever seen, so it would be stupid not to watch him. It’s just a striking effect of what that means.

“He is an incredibly good tactic, which we saw in the test crice, but he is the leader of the men. He is someone who is best happening from people.

“He is someone who, when the pressure is really turned on, is able to throw a blanket around the player and actually say, ‘No, no, this is the way forward. Continue with that. ”

“We don’t want to risk other things. But there is always a way in England, where do you start to look at, ‘What if it goes wrong? ”

“You also have to think,” What if it goes right? “. They are decisions I have to make.”
