Former captain of England Michael Vaughan strongly opposed the idea of appointing Ben Stokes As a captain of the teams of England with white ball, calling him “selfish” and “absolute nonsense”. Vaughan’s comments occur in the midst of growing speculation on Stokes, perhaps playing a leadership role in the limited cricket by the sides of his existing responsibility as a test captain of England.
Michael Vaughan explains why Ben Stokes should not have a harbor master’s office
While Vaughan has recognized the relentless commitment of stokes towards cricket in England, he argued that this is precisely why the versatile should not be overwhelmed by additional leadership functions. Talk to BbcVaughan explained that Stokes gives his best best, not only in matches but also during training, which makes it unfair to expect that he assumes more responsibilities.
“He gives absolutely everything, not only when he plays for England but when he trains. He is all or nothing. In a way, I think he is quite selfish to consider him, because he will say yes, because he is well stokes. He will do everything that England asks him to do. Do not ask him, let him be” “ explained Vaughan.

Balance the stoker workload for longevity
Since he took office as a test captain in England in 2022, Stokes transformed the team with his aggressive and inspiring leadership. However, his history of injuries and workload management have often been discussion points.
While Stokes played a crucial role in the success of the white ball of England, including their triumph of the 2019 ODI World Cup, Vaughan thinks that priority should be to preserve its longevity rather than adding additional pressure. The former skipper of England stressed that forcing Stokes to a role of white ball leadership could lead to professional exhaustion, ultimately affecting his performances through the formats.
