England Test captain Ben Stokes has revealed he will be moving down the order to number six after replacing Joe Root as skipper.
Stokes has spent the vast majority of his Test career batting at number six, given his status as England's premier all-rounder, but he was bumped up the order to number five in late 2018 given his status as the side's second best batter after Root.
However, Stokes is keen to contribute with both bat and ball and believes a move back to six will help him "concentrate on those roles as much as the other". The 30-year-old was keen to drop down the order in the West Indies, but remained at number five and blasted a brutal century in Barbados.
