England Considering Test Skipper Ben Stokes For White-Ball Captaincy

By AFP News March 07, 2025 • 08:33 AM View: 606

England cricket supremo Rob Key said on Thursday "it would be stupid" to rule Test captain Ben Stokes out of consideration for the role of skipper of the struggling white-ball team.

Jos Buttler stood down last week following a poor display by the side at the ongoing 50-over Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, where his team lost all three of their group games.
