Ben Stokes described the potential of his team as “scary” after England brought down the curtain on their first summer under his captaincy by wrapping up a nine-wicket victory over South Africa at the Oval, their sixth win in seven matches since the start of June.
With the prospect of the side being bolstered by the return of several seamers from injury – including Jofra Archer and Mark Wood – by the time Australia visit next summer with the Ashes on the line, Stokes believes England’s future looks bright.
