Ben Stokes is the new Test captain of England

Ben Stokes has been named the new captain of the England Test team. Stokes was in the top position on the list to become the new captain of England after Joe Root left the leadership. The discussion about this all-rounder has also been quite intense, and in the end, he got the responsibility. The England Cricket Board (ECB) has named Stokes as England’s 81st Test captain.

The ECB’s interim chairman and chief executive gave final approval to Stokes’ appointment on Tuesday evening. Earlier, Stokes was named England’s Test captain by Rob Key, the new managing director of boys’ cricket. It is also known that Stokes had a meeting with him. Then it became clear that Stokes would be England’s new Test captain.

Stokes made no mistake about thanking the former captain for his leadership role. “What he (Root) has done for English cricket is to thank him (Root) for being our ambassador to the world,” he said of Joe Root. “He has a significant role as a leader in my growing up in the dressing room. I hope he will be one of my collaborators in this post too. “

Stokes is very happy and honoured to be the leader of the English. Expressing his feelings, he said: “I am honoured to have the opportunity to lead the England Test team. This is an outstanding achievement in my cricket career. I was thrilled to hear the news.

I am looking forward to starting a new responsibility this summer. “

It is to be noted that under the leadership of Joe Root, England was not getting success for a long time. The English seem to have forgotten about the victory. England did not win any match in the last Ashes series. Australia won the series by a considerable margin of 4 wins and 1 draw at home. England has won just one of their last 16 Tests under Root. And due to the continuous failure, Captain Root stepped away from the leadership.
