London, June 8: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen feels all-rounder Ben Stokes doesn't need the burden of captaincy just yet as according to him, entertainers like Stokes don't always make the best of captains.

Test skipper Joe Root is reportedly doubtful for the first Test against West Indies starting July 8 as his wife is expecting around the same time as per The Telegraph. He will have to attend a mandatory seven days self-isolation in order to link-up with the squad again.
