Ben Stokes hopes the ups and downs of his England career will help him make a success of the Test captaincy.
Last year, Stokes spent more than four months out of the game as he managed his mental health and nursed a broken finger.
He believes that experience – and others in an eventful career – is positve now he has assumed the captaincy.
Stokes was confirmed as Test captain last week by new Managing Director Rob Key, and conducted his first media appearances on Tuesday at his home ground, Chester-le-Street.
