England have to play a three-Test series against West Indies from March 8. Earlier, the English team’s vice-captain Ben Stokes became emotional remembering Ashes 2021/22. England suffered a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Australia in the Ashes. Stokes said that the England team lost because of him.
Stokes, while doing the Ashes series, said that he disappointed the team by not performing well during the five-match series against Australia. The star all-rounder, who took a six-month break from the game, feels he could have been in better shape physically during the series.
Stokes said- When I look back and look at the Australia tour, I see the truth. I think it was me who let the team down by performing mediocrely. I could have scored more runs. I never want to feel that way again. Now we have another way to stay positive.
Stokes said- We got to see a lot of negatives in Australia and it is very sad to be in that mood. Now we have come to West Indies and our preparations are complete. We do not want to live in the past. I know how to perform for the team and that too regularly.
The first Test between England and West Indies will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Stokes will also not appear in the IPL this year. He did not send his name for the mega auction this year.
