England's all-rounder Ben Stokes will lead the England team in the first Test match against West Indies at Southampton starting from July 8. On this, former England captain Nasser Hussain compared Ben Stokes' captaincy with Virat Kohli. He said Ben Stokes will prove to be a 'great captain'.
Let us tell you that the hero of England's victory in the World Cup, Stokes will lead the team in the absence of regular captain Joe Root. Root will not play the first test match as his wife is expecting second child. On the other hand, international cricket will resume after months with this test series and this series will be played in a biologically safe environment.
Cricketer-turned-commentator Hussain said, "What Ben Stokes usually does is a bit like Virat Kohli." He gives 100 percent in whatever he does, so I think he will prove to be a great captain, although he is just the stand-in captain right now.' He said, 'The root is off with that baby, his second child. I support him as stand-in captain and I think he is a great choice, and very loyal to Joe Root as well. '
Hussain further said, "He won't have any kind of grandeur thinking that this is my job for life. But as a long-term thing – all-rounder with so much on his plate, plays three formats, IPL possibly coming up – I think there's too much on his shoulders, but never write-off Ben Stokes. He could make an exceptional captain, but I am worried a little bit about his workload in the future if he does it full time."
