Legendary England skipper, David Gower, has made a bold declaration about England’s current cricket star, Ben Stokes. In a recent statement, Gower has rated Stokes higher than Ian Botham when it comes to their contributions to England cricket. He cites Stokes’ century in the Ashes and his incredible performance in the 2019 World Cup final as evidence of his all-round excellence.
Gower also expresses his desire to see Ben Stokes return from ODI retirement for the upcoming 2023 World Cup, saying “Everyone wants to see Ben Stokes in the 2023 ODI World Cup. If England wants to defend their title, they should persuade him to play in India.”
With a winning record of 9 out of 10 Test matches as a skipper, Stokes has proven to be an unstoppable force on the field. David Gower’s endorsement is a testament to the all-rounder’s incredible talent and impact on the sport.
