"Case Of Looking At Schedules": Ben Stokes On Him Playing In IPL In Future
England Test captain Ben Stokes is one of the most sought-after players in world cricket. Everyone knows what he can do on his day, and that is the main reason, he has attracted high bids whenever he has put himself in the IPL auction. However, Stokes decided to give the IPL 2022 a miss to look after his workload and give his best to England.

"He Can Win Matches For England": Brendon McCullum Backs Out-Of-Form Batter
Despite his continuing failures at the top, England head coach Brendon McCullum continued to back opener Zak Crawley and said that he will stick with him for the second Test against South Africa in Manchester.

In his previous ten innings, he has managed only 164 runs at a poor average of 16.40. He has scored no fifties in this run, with the best score of 46. But McCullum opines that patience must be shown to the under-scrutiny 24-year-old.
