Ashes 2023: Michael Vaughan Believes Ben Stokes ‘Will Go Down As England’s Greatest Ever Captain’
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has praised Ben Stokes for his leadership of the Test team and believes the all-rounder has got the potential to become one of the greatest leaders in the side’s cricketing history. Under Stokes’ captaincy, England bounced back from being 2-0 down to drawing 2-2 with Australia in a remarkable turnaround in the recently-concluded Ashes series, which ended with the hosts’ winning by 49 runs at The Oval. England could have easily won the series 3-2 if the Manchester Test, where they dominated majorly, hadn’t ended in a draw due to rain.
“He’s only been doing the job for 14 months but already he is right up there among England’s greatest ever captains. I think in time he will be hailed as England’s greatest ever Test captain.”
“When you have that conversation, of course you’re thinking about Test match victories — and as captain Stokes has now won 13 out of 18 Tests, which is incredible. But you’re also thinking about a deeper impact. I think in time Stokes will be remembered as the captain who helped changed the way Test cricket is played — and that surely is the perfect legacy,” wrote Vaughan in his column for The Telegraph.
