Nasser Hussain, who was speaking on a show hosted by Star Sports titled ‘Cricket Connected’ revealed his expectations around England’s newly appointed stand-in captain.
Nasser Hussain, who has played 96 Tests and 88 ODI’s for England, believes that Stokes was the ideal choice in the absence of Joe Root, who is on leave expecting the birth of his second child. Nasser Hussain mentioned that, Ben Stokes is very loyal to Joe Root and that he wouldn’t carry any kind of grandeur thinking this was his job for life.
Nasser Hussain worried about Ben Stokes’ workload
Nasser Hussain also expressed concerns about Ben Stokes’ workload if he is made the full-time captain.
Nasser feels that there is too much on Ben Stokes’s shoulders, as he plays as an all-rounder in all three formats of the game and also participates in the IPL but made sure to convey that no one should ever write Ben Stokes off.
Ben Stokes will become England’s 81st captain in the longest format of the game when he takes charge of the England side in the first match of England’s three-match Test series which starts on the 8th of July at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
