Ben Stokes gave a big statement after losing the test series
Let us tell you that after losing the series 2-1 against Pakistan, during the post match, Stokes was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying – Losing the game and losing the series is disappointing. We were not able to face challenges in the last two matches, credit for this goes to Pakistan. Moving forward, we will strive to meet the challenges we face. After some time we will play against New Zealand.
Stokes further said- This summer ended late, the players worked really hard, but when you get out there, everything is different. You can just work hard. Whether you do well or not, you try to bring positivity in the team. No matter the outcome of the match, there were individual performances from some players, and there is certainly a lot to be learned from it.
You pay attention to that, and notice, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir are playing cricket here in front of their families. This is a big thing for them. They are two incredible cricketers who are just starting their careers. So, this is a big deal for them.
