England cricket team captain Ben Stokes was left puzzled after he was posed a question on the Rawalpindi pitch by a media person on the eve of PAK vs ENG 3rd Test. Stokes isn’t the first overseas player to be troubled by the questions asked in broken English by journalists in the sub-continental countries.
