Ben Stokes, oo 35 jir ah, ayaa sheegay inuu jeclaan lahaa inuu mustaqbalka noqdo tababaraha xulka qaranka England. Stokes, oo ahaa kabtanka Imtixaanka England ilaa 2022, ayaa bishii Juun ku dhawaaqay inuu ciyaarta caalamiga ah ka fariistay.
Fariistaadii iyo rabitaankii tababarnimada
Stokes wuxuu ku dhawaaqay fariistaadii la yaabka ah ee ciyaarta caalamiga ah bishii Juun, intii lagu guda jiray Imtixaankii seddexaad ee taxanaha New Zealand. Ka hor inta uusan fariisan, wuxuu seegay Imtixaankii labaad ee England ay la ciyaartay New Zealand kadib dhacantii ka dhacday naadi habeenkii London.
Stokes wuxuu yiri: "Waxaan hadda qaadanayaa tababarnimadayda heerka saddexaad inta aan wali ciyaarayo, sababtoo ah waxaan rabaa, marka uu imaado maalinta aanan ciyaari doonin, inaan jeclaan lahaa in waxyaabahaas oo dhan la saxo oo la dhammeeyo." Wuxuu intaa ku daray: "Ma garanayo waxa aan rabo inaan ku sameeyo marka aan ku sugnaado ciyaarta, taas oo ah inaan noqdo tababare. Oo ma jeclaan lahaa inaan maalin uun noqdo tababare England? Hubaal".
Magacaabista Root iyo walaaca Stokes
England waxaa 2-1 kaga badisay New Zealand, guuldaradii taxanahaana waxay raacday guuldaradii Ashes 4-1 ee Australia, taas oo ka dhigan inaysan England guuleysan taxane Imtixaano tan iyo dabayaaqadii 2024. Stokes wuxuu diiday soo jeedintii ah inuu fariistaadiisa kala noqon karo Ashes 2027.
England waxay Root ka dhigtay kabtanka Imtixaanka England halkii Brook. Root waxaa la siiyay kabtanimada Imtixaankii labaad ee New Zealand, kaas oo Stokes seegay, haddana hadda loo dhigay si rasmi ah. Stokes wuxuu taageeray Brook inuu noqdo kabtan, laakiin wuxuu yiri: "Waxaan fahmay sababta laakiin weli waxaan ahay, hagaag, farriin maxay u diraysaa isaga? Waa kabtan-ku-xigeen".
Xiriirkii McCullum iyo diidmada khilaafka
Fleming wuxuu beddelay Brendon McCullum oo ahaa tababare England, kaas oo shaqada laga ceyriyay kadib natiijooyin liita iyo dhacdooyin ka baxsan garoonka. McCullum wuxuu sii ahaaday mas'uulka kooxaha kubbadda cagta cad, waxaana jiray xambaaraha khilaaf u dhexeeyay isaga iyo Stokes, labaduba way dafireen.
McCullum wuxuu sheegay inuu saaxiibkiis u sheegay, Stokesna wuxuu yiri waa "saaxiibo". Stokes wuxuu yiri: "Weligay kamaan dhicin khilaaf. Ma yeelanay wada-hadallo aan fikradaha kala duwanaa? 100% waana qiraan labaduba. Ma yeelanay khilaaf? Sabaabaa maya".
Former England Test captain Ben Stokes has revealed he would love to become the national team's coach one day, speaking on a cricket podcast shortly after his retirement announcement.
Stokes Confirms Retirement and Coaching Ambitions
The 35-year-old all-rounder, who captained England in Tests since 2022, announced his retirement from international cricket in June during the third and final Test against New Zealand. He has since rejected suggestions he could return for the 2027 Ashes, telling former teammate Jos Buttler: 'Definitely' when asked if he had retired. Stokes is now undertaking his level three coaching qualification while still playing, saying he wants to have everything signed off before his playing days end.
Speaking on the For the Love of Cricket podcast, Stokes said: 'I know what I want to do in terms of staying within the game, which is to be a coach. And would I love to be coach of England one day? Absolutely.' He added that he likes the idea of being in 'some form of leadership away from playing' and expressed genuine enthusiasm about the prospect of coaching the team he led for five years.
Surprise at Brook Passing Over and Concern for Root
Stokes expressed surprise that Harry Brook did not succeed him as Test captain, having backed the batter to take over the role. Brook had been promoted to vice-captain during last winter's Ashes tour, but was involved in an off-field controversy in Wellington when he was struck by a bouncer the night before a white-ball game in November. Stokes said: 'I understood the reasoning but I was still like, well, what message is that sending to him? He's vice-captain. And then the captain is not playing, but he's not captain. What?'
England have now appointed Joe Root as permanent Test captain, with Root's first spell running from 2017 to 2022 when he led the team to a record 27 wins in 65 matches. Root stepped down in April 2022 after a 10-wicket defeat by the West Indies, saying the job 'took its toll' on his health. Stokes said his only worry is for Root, noting: 'I've seen what he went through and how much he put himself through for someone. He's just always put the team first - he always comes second.'
Stokes Addresses Rumours of Rift with McCullum
There were rumours of a rift between Stokes and former coach Brendon McCullum during the latter stages of their time together, but both have denied any falling out. McCullum was fired as Test coach following poor results and off-field incidents, though he remains in charge of England's white-ball sides. McCullum said he told his former captain he considered him a 'good friend', while Stokes said the pair are 'mates'.
When asked about their relationship, Stokes said: 'We never once fell out.' He acknowledged they had different views but insisted: 'Did we have discussions with each other that we had different views on and different opinions on? 100% and we both admit that. I think Baz has even said that himself. Did we have a fallout? Absolutely not.' Stokes also expressed hope that Root will enjoy working with new Test coach Stephen Fleming, who replaced McCullum.
