Stokes once again lashed out at the ICC in a busy cricket schedule

The busy schedule is going on in cricket now, the cricketers don’t have much time to spare. Time to completely suffocate under the pressure of international cricket and franchise cricket

Cricketers don’t get it. Therefore, the complaints of the players at different times about such a schedule are not less. English all-rounder Ben Stokes once again expressed his displeasure with this busy cricket schedule. At the same time, England’s test captain expressed his anger with the preparation of the schedule without ICC knowledge.

Recently in a show with former English cricketer Ian Botham, Stokes said that the physical pressure of cricketers is being increased by playing in unimportant series. Stokes said, “The number of cricket matches is increasing with time. We have to be careful now with the schedule to maintain the quality of cricket. We have to play the ODI series against Australia just after the T20 World Cup not long ago. These three matches that are forced to play are of no importance. No. Still had to play for the busy schedule.”

The English captain feels that under the pressure of franchise cricket, Jolus may lose Test cricket. In this regard, Stokes said, “Earlier there was not so much talk about Tests, now there is a little more talk about Test cricket. Tests are losing importance with the amount of franchise cricket that is happening every day. Franchise cricket can be a great opportunity for players who do not play Tests. But other formats “Test cricket has always been the most important thing to me. Playing in Tests gives me the most joy.”

Stokes has also requested the ICC, the highest governing body of cricket, to protect the dignity and passion of Test cricket. Speaking about his opinion, the all-rounder said, “Many people say that it is a great honour for me to play for England. Yes, it is an honour for me to play in the England jersey, but I want cricket to be of the highest standard. But the way different teams are formed for different editions affects the game. Throwing. This is not appropriate in any way in international cricket. It damages cricket”.

Stokes want to give a new formula to the whole world to keep the audience alive in Test cricket. After Brendon McCullum took over as coach, the way England is playing aggressive Tests has now become enjoyable. If every team plays like this, Stokes feels that Tests will come back to life. According to the English captain, the entertainment of the game should be more important than the result. Only then will the audience’s interest in the test increase.
