Ben Stokes Joins England Team for Ashes Series: England Cricket Team’s star all-rounder Ben Stokes joined the England team for the first training session after a six-month break at the Metrico Stadium in Gold Coast, Queensland on Thursday. Stokes is joined by senior players like skipper Joe Root and Stuart Broad for a full training session. Let us tell you that these players have reached Australia early to prepare for the Ashes.
Let us inform that Stokes took a break from cricket to recover from mental health problems and finger injury, after which this all-rounder was included in the team late. England’s team suffered a defeat against New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup semi-final on Wednesday, after which the rest of the players selected for the Ashes will join the team.
