LONDON: The England cricket team has suffered a major setback ahead of the second Test against New Zealand, where Test captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the team.
According to British media reports, the team management has decided to make him unavailable for the second Test match after an incident that occurred in a London nightclub.
In Ben Stokes’ absence, England’s leadership has been handed over to experienced batsman Joe Root, who will captain the team in the second Test against New Zealand.
This unexpected development has affected the preparations of the English team because Ben Stokes is not only considered the captain but also the team’s important all-rounder.
On the other hand, Joe Root has led England in the past and has extensive captaincy experience.
