No Place For Stokes As Root Returns To England’s Squad For India ODIs And Champions Trophy
Wales Cricket Board: Test captain Ben Stokes has not been considered for selection in England’s squads for next year’s white-ball tour of India and Champions Trophy as Joe Root returns to the 50-over set-up.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday that Stokes’ omission from the squads is down to him being continued to be assessed following a left hamstring injury sustained during the third Test match against New Zealand at Hamilton earlier this month, where England lost by 423 runs.
Premier batter Root, who averages 47.60 in ODIs, makes his return to the 50-over side for the first time since the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Root is selected only for the ODI tour of India, while leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed is included just for the T20I leg of the trip.
