Ross Taylor: I Asked Stokes To Come & Play For New Zealand
Former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor revealed that he attempted to get England Test skipper Ben Stokes play cricket for his country of birth. In his recently-published autobiography, "Ross Taylor Black & White", Taylor talked about his idea to get Stokes play for New Zealand while he was playing for English county side Durham in 2010.
"He was 18 or 19 and very much a Kiwi. Over a Guinness, I asked him if he wanted to come and play in New Zealand. He was keen so I sent a message to New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan saying this guy Stokes was a really good young cricketer and interested in playing for New Zealand," wrote Taylor in his book, an extract of which was published by stuff.co.nz on Monday.
