Ben Stokes is one of the greatest all-rounders of the modern era. The England cricket team star has made a name for himself with his swashbuckling performances in all three formats of cricket. Stokes is famous for his contributions to England’s success in the 2019 World Cup and the Ashes series.

The England team star took a break from the sport last year to focus on his mental well-being. He returned for the Ashes series but failed to impress the fans. After that, Stokes decided to skip IPL 2022 and focus on his Test career. Now he is playing for the England team in the ICC World Test Championship series against the West Indies cricket team.

Stokes scored a fine ton for his team in the ongoing second Test against West Indies. The England team is bowling now. The duo of Kraigg Brathwaite and Jermaine Blackwood have given a tough time to the England bowlers. Both Caribbean batters have recorded a hundred each in the first innings.
