Great all-rounders are game changers & Stokes is doing that: David Lloyd

New Delhi, July 22: Former England cricketer David Lloyd feels that star all-rounder Ben Stokes' character plays a big role in him maximising his talent. Lloyd said that while he does not like comparisons and refrained from talking about whether Stokes has already surpassed Ian Botham, he feels that the 28-year-old is now a talismanic character in the team.

"Phillip DeFreittas was the new Botham, Derek Pringle was the new Botham. Andrew Flintoff fitted the bill, he was a wonderful cricketer. Flintoff's career was curtailed by injury. I think great all-rounders are game changers and Stokes is doing that right now," Lloyd said on Sony Ten Pit Stop which was aired on the channel's Facebook page.
