In Ashes 2023, England had to face defeat in the first two Test matches and the team was under a lot of pressure. England’s performance was very poor throughout this series. However, England made a strong comeback in the third Test played in Leeds and won the match by three wickets. It was very important for England to win both the remaining matches to win the series, but the fourth Test played in Manchester ended in a draw.

Rain interrupted the match played at Old Trafford and due to this England’s dream of winning the Ashes 2023 was completely shattered. All the players were very disappointed. However, after this, English captain Ben Stokes gave an important speech to encourage all his teammates. During the documentary of the Ashes 2023 series, Ben Stokes was heard giving an important speech to all his team players.

According to cricket.com.au, Ben Stokes said, ‘We are not going to stop what we have done so far because we have not taken back the urn yet. We do not get the reward until we work hard and win and make what we want ours. We have earned the thing for which we performed very well as a team and all the people who saw us playing cricket were very lucky.’

Let’s become a team that everyone will remember forever: Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes further said, ‘I know it will be very flat going forward. The next match is to be played at the Oval and we will all feel bad that we could not get the urn back. But everyone will remember what we have done. Become a team that everyone remembers and we have performed like that.’

Let us tell you, England won the fifth and final Test match at Kennington Oval by 49 runs and ended the series in a draw. Even though England could not win the Ashes 2023, the team’s performance was praised by many people.
