Notably, the Ben Stokes-led English side prevailed to level the five-match Ashes Test series despite losing the first two games against Australia. In addition, the home team suffered defeats in the first two matches by two wickets and 43 runs, but fought back in the third and fourth Tests, although the fourth match was abandoned due to rain) and claimed the fifth Test by 49 runs against Pat Cummins’ side.
Who knows if we can do it against India?: Stokes
Speaking on the same subject, Test skipper Ben Stokes was questioned about whether their Bazball approach would work against India.
Meanwhile, in reply to this question, Ben Stokes provides a diplomatic answer while affirming that we beat New Zealand before winning the series against South Africa and Babar Azam-led Pakistan. Moreover, the right-arm pacer further added that only time can tell whether we can win against India or not.
“I remember when we beat New Zealand 3-0, (the chatter) was we couldn’t do it against South Africa, (we) couldn’t do it against Pakistan, (we) couldn’t do it against Australia. So who knows if we can do it against India, only time will tell,” Stokes said during the press conference.
Meanwhile, the English team is all set to host New Zealand for an ODI series commencing on August 30. Notably, the series will serve as preparation ahead of the ODI World Cup, and they will look to defend their crown.
