Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen is upset with 6th-ranked all-rounder Ben Stokes. Peterson believes England should promote Ben Stokes in T20 format. Ben Stokes is sixth in the fifth T20 against India. Chasing 225, England lost the wicket quickly. Butler and Malan seem to have once led England to victory. But the game was canceled soon after Butler was dismissed. Ben Stokes scored 14 in the fifth T20.
“Peterson tweeted that Stokes wasted himself by batting in the 6th position and bowling part-time. Johnny Bierstowe is an opener at T20 and if he doesn’t open, Stokes gets the number-4.” Notably, Ben Stokes was unable to do anything special in the T20 series against India and his batting order was somewhere behind it. Stokes has scored just 84 runs in three innings of five T20Is against India.
