Michael Atherton says England should weigh the potential risk for their chances of ash if they deliver Ben Captain Ben to one-day international cricket.
Men Managing Director in England, Rob Key suggested that Test Skipper was a candidate to lead the 50-year-old match following Jos Buttler’s resignation from both white ball roles after the penalty group appearing in the Champions trophy.
Stokes has turned the side of the red ball of England along with Brendon McCulum since 2022 when the pair took over a team that had won one of their previous games.
However, comprehensive has suffered two serious late hamstring injuries, after a long period that deals with a chronic knee issue, and Atherton is aware of the stock load of the stock before a series of era determination in Australia by November.
Athers: England won’t win ashes without stocks as captain
Told the former Captain of England Atherton Sky Sports News: “There is no doubt that Stokes is the prominent captain, the prominent leader, in the English cricket.
“This is not the issue. The sauce is about his fitness because he has had serious hamstring injuries and fought to go through the cricket he was asked to play.
“After all, the Key-Mccullum-Stokes project will be determined by 10 tests this year-old against India at home and then ASES AWAY.
“A large part of the structures they have set are created to get that right side for grace, so this is the question.
“What you are losing if he is hurt and you can’t capture against India and Australia because without catching the stock in Australia, I don’t think England will win.”
KEYEELS: Stokes one of the best captains I’ve ever seen
Speaking earlier this week, Key told reporters: “I think nothing is out of the table (in terms of England’s captain). You see every single opportunity and think, ‘What is the best thing to do?’
“Ben Stokes is one of the best captains I have ever seen, so it would be a fool not to look. Just just the knocking effect of what you mean.

Rob Key says England players ever ‘talk waste’ to the media
“He is an incredible good tactic, which we have seen in the Cricket Test, but he is a men’s leader. He is someone who gets the best of the people.
“He is someone who, when the pressure is really, he is able to throw a blanket around the players and actually say,” No, no, this is the way forward. Continue with it. ”
“We don’t want to risk other things as well. But there is always a way in England, I think, where do you start to see,” What if it goes wrong? “
“You also have to think,” What if it goes well? “They are the decisions I have to make.”
