    "editor1": "<p>London, Oct 28 -&nbsp;England Test captain Joe Root said on Saturday that the absence of all-rounder Ben Stokes from the upcoming Ashes tour will be an opportunity for other young players to prove their mettle and cement a place in the side.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nStokes, who got into a brawl outside a bar will not travel to Australia with the police case still open and internal disciplinary procedures on hold for now.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I think we&#39;ve got to plan as if he&#39;s not going to be there for the whole series,&quot; Espncricinfo quoted the 26-year-old as saying.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Ben offers a lot to the team but, as I said, it&#39;s an opportunity for other guys to stand up. In difficult situations, a lot of the time, people do surprise themselves and surprise you and are capable of more than what they might even think themselves,&quot; Root added.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-photo-news\">Top 5 Cricket News of the Day<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Root also said the five-match Test series against Australia which is slated to get underway from November 23 will be an opportunity for the side to develop better as an unit.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;This is one of those occasions when you might just see that and there&#39;s also some guys that have been given another opportunity, who will be desperate to take that. As a side I look at where we are and how we&#39;ve grown as a team and think that this is a great opportunity for us to keep developing and move forward again,&quot; Root said.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
