England Test team captain Ben Stokes has praised the captaincy of stand-in captain Ollie Pope. According to Ben Stokes, in his unavailability, Ollie Pope captained brilliantly in the first Test matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Let us tell you that due to injury, Ben Stokes could not participate in the last four Test matches and in his place the England Test team was captained by Ollie Pope. However, now Ben Stokes is making a comeback in the second Test against Pakistan to be played in Multan. Under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, England defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 at home and the English team also won against Pakistan.

Speaking on Sky Sports before the second Test match, Ben Stokes said, ‘A young player who has got a lot of experience, he has done excellent batting as well as captaincy in the top order. This will be a great thing for them in the long run. Pope’s winning percentage is even better than mine. They have won three out of four tests.

Very happy that he achieved all this while I was injured. I never had any doubts about Ollie Pope’s batting and he has also won my heart with his captaincy.

Ben Stokes praised the English team fiercely

Ben Stokes further said, ‘When you are on the field, you get very few opportunities. However, when you are outside the team, you realize that all the players are performing tremendously.

I am very happy with my team. He has won many important matches with strong performance. No individual player is bigger than the team and the thing I have seen is that all 11 players have performed tremendously on the cricket field.
