Nasser Hussain Urges Ben Stokes to Rediscover His Batting Form

Former England captain Nasser Hussain has stressed the importance of Ben Stokes returning to his old batting ways, following a disappointing Ashes series. Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Hussain emphasized that Stokes needs to focus on scoring runs and providing clarity as a captain. England has struggled under the leadership of Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, failing to win a five-match series against Australia or India since their appointment in 2022. Hussain believes that Stokes' ability to lead the team and his own batting form are crucial to England's success in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand and Pakistan. Stokes is currently recovering from facial surgery and is expected to miss the first month of the County Championship season with Durham.
