Ben Stokes's Wife Bemused By England Captaincy Call-Up
Ben Stokes admitted his wife was bemused by England team management's decision to appoint him as skipper in the three-ODI series against Pakistan beginning Thursday, when the initial policy was not to rush him to the side from his injury.
"Just after the call, my wife sent me a screen shot of an article saying 'England aren't going to rush Ben Stokes back'. I tried to make light of the situation and said the same thing to Ashley Giles. It's one of those times when you think 'if you don't laugh you'll cry'," said the England all-rounder who is making a comeback to competitive cricket from his left index finger injury. He represented Durham in T20 Blast to get into groove but it was decided to not rush him to international cricket.
