England put faith in Ben Stokes to sink New Zealand again in crunch T20 World Cup clash.

Published by: Michael Popoola Olamide

England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes has been wrapped in cotton wool since the shock loss to Ireland, but has been declared fully fit and ready for the vital group fixture.

The talisman all rounder has shown that he is made for situations like this, and even though he hasn’t produced his best with the bat yet this winter, and although he hasn’t trained since Thursday, the expectation remains high. 

While his team-mates were busy putting the finishing touches to their preparations in the nets at the nearby Allan Border field, Stokes made a delayed entrance to the ground and then only to perambulate around the boundary edge in conversation with the team doctor.
