I want to win games of cricket for England- Ben Stokes

Stokes’ first challenge as captain would be against New Zealand in June. England would  host New Zealand for a three match Test series. Stokes has taken a huge decision to call back Anderson and Broad in the Test squad of England.

Stokes in his interview with BBC said: “I want to win games of cricket for England. The best way to do that is picking your best XI and in my opinion if Stuart Broad and James Anderson are fit they are available for selection”
