Reacting to reports about England Test captain Ben Stokes possible U-Turn on ODI retirement to play the World Cup, India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin reckons that T20I skipper Jos Buttler will convince Stokes to return for the marquee tournament later this year. According to British media, Stokes might reconsider reversing his ODI retirement with the intention of joining the upcoming World Cup set to take place in India. The reports come a day after England's white-ball coach Matthew Mott said Buttler Buttler will have a chat with Stokes to see if he is willing to reconsider his ODI retirement.

"Jos will probably lead the way on that communication, but Ben’s pretty straight with all of us. We will see if he's keen," Mott had told Daily Mail in an interview last week.
