Doull: England Aims to Get Ben Stokes for 2026 T20 World Cup
England is hoping to get Ben Stokes to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
A commentator named Simon Doull thinks this is a big plan for England.
Stokes last played a T20 international in 2022, and since then hasn't been available, to focus on being an all-rounder.
His possible return is seen as a tactical advantage, allowing England to balance their team better, especially in places like India and Sri Lanka.
Currently, Harry Brook is leading England's white-ball team, having a perfect record so far.
The team is doing well, and Stokes' return would be a big boost.
Simon Doull suggests England hopes to convince Ben Stokes to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Stokes hasn't played T20Is for England since the 2022 T20 World Cup final.
Doull believes Stokes's inclusion would provide tactical advantages, particularly in subcontinent conditions.
England will be led by Harry Brook in the upcoming matches.
Brook has a 5-0 record as England's white-ball captain.
