Ashes: Ben Stokes 'Never Really An Ambition To Be A Captain'

By IANS News January 03, 2022 • 11:24 AM View: 1366

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has categorically said that he never "had an ambition to be a captain", adding that Joe Root "should not be forced into" relinquishing his captaincy in the wake of the Ashes debacle.

England are staring at a series washout after losing the first three Tests by huge margins. The tourists lost the opening Test at Brisbane by nine wickets, the second Test at Adelaide by 275 runs and the Boxing Day Test at the MCG by an innings and 14 runs, prompting several England greats to call for Root's ouster as captain and Stokes's elevation.
