Ashes Series: Ollie Pope Ready To Captain England In Tests If Ben Stokes Misses Out Due To Fitness Issues

By IANS News May 26, 2023 • 20:30 PM View: 895

Right-handed batter Ollie Pope said he will be ready to captain England in Test cricket in the upcoming home summer if Ben Stokes misses out on any of their six matches due to long-standing fitness issues.

Stokes had a long-standing left knee injury flared up during the series in New Zealand in February, which limited his ability to use his right-arm pace bowling. He also suffered niggles while being a part of the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023, which limited his participation to just two matches.
