Ben Stokes made a big statement about Shoaib Bashir Let us tell you that after winning the Nottingham Test match against West Indies, Ben Stokes said about Shoaib Bashir during the post-match – I think what Bash (Shoaib Bashir) has done today is to show the world what he can do.

Stokes further said about the match- After this victory, we should not forget the kind of partnership Harry Brook and Joe Root made when the ball was moving a lot.
