The England team has suffered a big blow before the T20 World Cup. Veteran Ben Stokes has distanced himself from the selection of the team. That means Stokes will not be a part of the T-20 World Cup. Let us tell you that the T-20 World Cup will start on June 1 in America and West Indies. The England team has been shocked by Stokes not playing. Stokes has been the best all-rounder in the world. Let us tell you that Stokes had made a comeback in the shorter format only to play the ODI World Cup. It was expected that this England all-rounder would also play in the T-20 World Cup, but now Stokes has put all speculations to rest.
Regarding his decision, Stokes said, “I am working hard and focusing on strengthening my bowling fitness to play a full role as an all-rounder in all formats of cricket…IPL and World Cup. “Going out of the cup would be a sacrifice that will allow me to become the all-round player I want to be shortly.”
