Ben Stokes
Summary
Joining us at Lord’s Cricket Ground is Ben Stokes, English international cricketer and current vice captain of the England Test team.
Stokes moved to England at the age of 12 and began playing cricket for Cockermouth Cricket Club. He won the North Lancashire & Cumbria Cricket league Premier Division title with the club as a 15-year-old, and his love for cricket only grew from there.
In April 2019, Stokes was named in the England's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, and after a sensational win was declared Man of the Match, an accolade he has been awarded many times before, such as a record-breaking three times within fourteen games in 2017. The World Cup win, alongside the 2019 Ashes, has been brought to life in On Fire: My Story of an Unbelievable Summer for English Cricket, Stokes’ newest book.
We spoke to Ben about what fans can expect from the book, how he felt coming out for the World Cup-winning Super Over and how the summer of 2019 has changed cricket in the UK.
