Ben Stokes appointed England Test captain

Ben Stokes appointed England Test captain

All-rounder Ben Stokes has won the race to replace Joe Root and will become England's next Test captain. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Thursday appointed star all-rounder Ben Stokes as the captain of England's Test team. Stokes's first assignment as the Test captain would be a two-match home series against New Zealand in June. The appointment is the first move by recently-appointed Managing Director of England Men’s Cricket, Rob Key, who was named in the post earlier this month. Rob Key made the announcement in his first media conference about te appointment of Stokes.

Joe Root stepped down as Test captain shortly after England's 1-0 Test series loss to West Indies in the Caribbean and leaves Stokes with plenty of work to do to lift their country off the bottom of the World Test Championship points table. England have struggled for continuity since the start of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship, with their series loss in the West Indies preceded by a disastrous Ashes campaign in Australia.
