Meanwhile, Stokes confirmed that he has a line-up ready for Australia for the Ashes series which is starting on June 16. “I think I know what the starting XI is going to be, there or thereabouts,” Stokes told Sky Sports. “Having the option to bowl above 90mph, any captain wants that. When it comes to that first Test I will be making sure I pick the best team for that first game.
“We’ve been clear, especially with the ground staff around England, about what type of wickets we want and they’ve been responsive. We want flat, fast wickets,” he added.
