Ben Stokes remains under consideration for an England white-ball return with Harry Brook, the new limited‑overs captain, saying it would “be stupid to turn a blind eye to him”.
Stokes, the England Test captain, was in the running for the one-day international captaincy but concerns over his workload prompted a double promotion for Brook. The 2023 World Cup was the last time Stokes featured in an England white-ball team, his recent focus tied to the long form while dealing with various injuries.
