Ben Stokes became the captain of the England test cricket team

The England and Wales Cricket Board faced a serious problem. Joe Root refused the role of captain of the national club, and it was not possible to find a new leader for quite a long time: all the players refused this responsibility.

But the captain’s patch still found its new owner the day before. Ben Stokes became the captain of the England test cricket team. This was reported by English insiders. According to their reports, this will be officially announced in the next couple of days.
