Ben Stokes A 'Massive Bonus' For England Squad: Trevor Bayliss

By IANS News December 01, 2021 • 10:42 AM View: 1587

Former England cricket team coach Trevor Bayliss has said that the squad having all-rounder Ben Stokes in its ranks ahead of the five-Test Ashes series was a "massive bonus" for the Joe Root-led side.

Bayliss, who was England coach when they lost the 2017/18 Ashes 4-0 -- a series played without Ben Stokes -- said ahead of the opening Ashes Test at the Gabba from December 8 that he knew just too well what the absence of the all-rounder had meant then.
