England captain Ben Stokes has come to the defense of his teammates after the Ashes series debacle and criticism of the players after a party in Noosa.
On this situation, the English captain Ben Stokes said that in all the reports and speeches that are published, my biggest concern is my players, it is important for me how to report the current situation.
Ben Stokes says that the welfare of everyone in the team and especially some players is my priority at the moment.
“I have personal experience of how things like this can affect people and as captain it’s my job to protect my players as much as possible,” said the England captain.
He said that I will always protect my players because this is my biggest responsibility.
Continuing his speech, Ben Stokes said that when you lose a series, everything you say, everything you do is scrutinized and that’s good.
“When you lose three matches in a big series, you don’t really have anything left to say in your defence,” the skipper said.
It should be noted that the England team is under criticism after the defeat in the Ashes series and the Noosa party, while the ECB took action after the video of Ben Duckett in a drunken state.
England Cricket Team manager Rob Key also promised an investigation into the players’ alleged drinking in Noosa, while Ben Stokes called the players’ mental health a top priority in the current situation.
