England cricket chief Rob Key said a "talented" Test side can become a force again under new captain Ben Stokes despite a dismal run of results over the past 14 months.

Talismanic all-rounder Stokes was named Thursday as the successor to Joe Root, a close friend, in Key's first major announcement since becoming managing director of the England men's team.
