‘Dogle bnna koi inse sikhe’ – Fans react as Jos Butler reveals Ben Stokes expressed his wish to play in World Cup during IPL

Published on

After winning the ODI World Cup in 2019, Jos Butler and Co. will definitely look to defend their title in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which is slated to take place later this year in India. Notably, the English team will open their journey against New Zealand on October 5. In addition, the team has marked the great comeback of Test skipper Ben Stokes in the marquee event.

Meanwhile, after his comeback in ODIs, English white ball captain Jos Butler has expressed happiness about his comeback. Notably, the Rajasthan Royals opener called Southpaw his own man. In addition, the stylish right-handed batter says that there is no need to tell him what Ben Stokes can bring to the team. Moreover, a 32-year-old cricketer has called Stokes’ comeback fantastic and delightful.

“Ben is very much his own man, he makes his own decisions. Me badgering him and saying ‘Come back, come back’ is not really the way things work with Ben. He very much makes up his own mind and decides. I don’t think you need me to tell you what Ben Stokes brings to a team. It’s fantastic to have Ben back available. Any time a player of his quality is available again is fantastic. We’re delighted to welcome him back,” Jos Buttler was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

Moreover, the Taunton-born batter reveals that he had some words with the CSK batter during the IPL. In addition, the great batter says Stokes wanted to win the Ashes as well as play in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

“Ben Stokes and I spoke at the IPL, he told me there were some things he wanted to achieve this year. The Ashes was the main one, but he also felt he could play the 2023 World Cup, he’d like to do that,” he added further.
