‘If I get the call to come and play, then obviously it’s definitely going to be a yes,’ says Ben Stokes‘If I get the call to come and play, then obviously it’s definitely going to be a yes,’ says Ben Stokes, would be willing to return to the white-ball setup under their new coach, Brendon McCullum, if asked but added that there had been no conversations about him returning to the limited-overs squads.
“I’ve played a lot of white-ball cricket for England and I’m very happy and content with what I’ve achieved in that form of the game,” Stokes told Sky Sports. “If I get the call to come and play, then obviously it’s definitely going to be a yes. But I’m not going to be too disappointed if I don’t – it means that I can just sit back and watch everyone else go out and smack it. Me and Baz have not spoken about anything like that whatsoever.”Ben Stokes with Brendon McCullum.
The 33-year-old said his rehabilitation was going well. A scan on Wednesday confirmed that his recovery remains on track to participate in the Test series against Pakistan. “In terms of bowling, there’s a lot more than just my hamstring that I need to get back firing – you use everything,” he added. “I need to get that all right to make sure I don’t do any more damage to any other parts of my body.”
