Ben Stokes set to sign two-year contract with England that could extend till Ashes 2025-26: Reports
Stokes is currently the captain of the England Test cricket team Ben Stokes (Photo Source: Getty Images) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is bringing a new contract policy for the recently contracted players. In this new policy, players will be able to sign contracts with the board for more than one year. So now, according to the latest media reports, England cricket team captain and veteran all-rounder Ben Stokes can sign a two-year contract deal with the ECB. Also, Stokes’ contract can be extended till the Ashes series to be held during the year 2025-26. You may remember that last time in the ECB’s contract policy, star cricketers Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood had signed contracts for three years, while Ollie Pope and Jofra Archer had signed contracts for two years. Whereas in October last year, Stokes had signed a contract for only one year. On the other hand, if media reports of The Guardian are to be believed, Stokes may sign an extended central contract for two years this time. If Stokes signs a two-year contract with the ECB, then this can definitely be a good time for England’s Test cricket. Because recently the ECB has extended the tenure of red ball cricket head coach Brendon McCullum till 2027 not only in red ball but also in white ball. McCullum replaced Matthew Mott in the team. It is worth noting that the board was very unhappy with the disappointing performance of the team in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024 under the head coaching of Mott. However, Stokes is not in England’s white ball scheme at the moment. But it will be interesting to see how England will perform in the upcoming ICC events Champions Trophy 2025, T20 World Cup 2026 and World Cup 2027 under the head coaching of former Kiwi captain Brendon McCullum?

Brendon McCullum and ben stokes (Image Credit- Twitter Former New Zealand player Brendon McCullum has recently been appointed as the head coach of the England white ball team. Let us tell you, during the tenure of Brendon McCullum, the England Test team has performed very well in international cricket and their results have been positive. This is the reason why the England and Wales Cricket Board has appointed Brendon McCullum as the head coach of England’s white ball team. Along with this, England’s Test team captain Ben Stokes has wished Brendon McCullum all the best for his new role. Let us tell you that before Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach, England had won only one out of 17 matches in Test cricket. However, during his tenure, the team has won 19 out of 28 Tests.

Now Brendon McCullum would definitely like to leave his mark in limited overs cricket as well. Regarding Brendon McCullum’s new role, Ben Stokes told Sky Sports, ‘I think this is a very good thing for English cricket. With the arrival of Brendon McCullum, the confidence of the team has increased a lot and the performance of all the players has also improved. Now the England team will be seen performing well in white ball cricket as well.’ I am looking forward to seeing England’s performance in white ball cricket: Ben Stokes Ben Stokes further said, ‘I am very eager to see how the England team performs in white ball cricket now. Brendon McCullum is a very good person and the best coach. The pair of Brendon and Jos Buttler are now ready to do wonders. He must have taken this challenge because he himself knows that his arrival will make a lot of difference in the team and he will be seen playing an important role as a coach. Baz is very serious about the game and he also encourages the team in a great way. It is going to be a big thing for English cricket that Brendon McCullum will be seen coaching both the teams.

Today we tell you the three main reasons why the Sri Lankan team can win the upcoming three-match Test series against England. 1- The situation will be in favor of Sri Lankan players Srilanka Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) The timing of this tour will be in Sri Lanka’s favour to a great extent. Actually, the weather in Sri Lanka is similar to the weather in England at this time. Spinners get a lot of help in England at the end of summer and batsmen can also play very important innings after getting set.

This is the reason why Sri Lanka can prove to be very dangerous here.
ENG vs SL, 1st Test: “I was just waiting for the opportunity and…”, Dan Lawrence’s statement after getting a place in the playing XI
I’m just going to enjoy these few weeks and hopefully score some runs – Dan Lawrence Dan Lawrence (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The England cricket team is going to play a three-match Test series at home against Sri Lanka from August 21. England’s Test captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the series due to injury, Ollie Pope will be seen captaining in place of the all-rounder. Meanwhile, the host team has announced the playing 11 for the first Test match against Sri Lanka. In place of Jack Crowley, Dan Lawrence will be seen opening with Ben Duckett in the series. Let us tell you, Jack Crowley was injured in the Test series against West Indies. At the same time, Dan Lawrence has got a place in the team after two full years. Ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka, Lawrence said he was just waiting for an opportunity and it has finally come. He stressed that he will score runs and put his claim for selection in the future. Hopefully I will score some runs – Dan Lawrence Dan Lawrence, speaking on ESPNcricinfo, said, I was just waiting for an opportunity and wherever it was I wanted to grab it. So I’ll just enjoy these few weeks and hopefully score some runs and put myself in contention for selection in the future. Dan Lawrence made his Test debut against Sri Lanka and then came on the tour of India in 2021, but could not perform well. Dan scored 149 runs in 6 innings, after which he did not get a chance again. Speaking further, Lawrence said, I think in my first stint I showed glimpses of what I can do. I was definitely inconsistent. There were some glimpses of what I can do and some low scores. But I think that was due to being very young. I was not fully confident about my game at that time and it was all very challenging. So I want to make a fresh start.
