Ben Stokes raised questions on ICC rules (photo-PTI)
In the third Test match played against India at Lord’s, England suffered heavy losses and two WTC points were deducted. England won the match, but due to the slow over rate, he had to lose two important points of WTC. Due to this, its total marks were reduced to 22. Now English captain before the fourth Test match Ben stokes Has given a big statement about the ICC rule. He is very angry with this rule and he has said that there cannot be only one rule everywhere and it is a matter of common sense.
Ben stokes got angry
Ben Stokes said, ‘Over rate is not something that I am worried, but it does not mean that I am deliberately slowing down. I understand the disappointment associated with it, but I really feel that its way needs to be seriously considered. You cannot keep the same rule for Asia and other places. Spin bowlers in Asia score about 70 percent overs. In New Zealand, Australia, England, 70-80 percent of the fast bowlers are put. It is a matter of common sense that it takes less time for the spinner to overcome. In such a situation, you should consider changing the time of over rate in different places.
Ben Stokes further said, ‘I think the over rate has declined for the last few years. I wonder if this is happening due to the growth of this run speed. The ball is often crossing the boundary. It will obviously take much time. Let me tell you, Stokes has not yet agreed that he has made any mistake. Not only this, Ben Stokes has not been signing for a long time on slow over speed paperwork.
England is ahead in Test series
Three matches have been played between England and India. So far, England is ahead 2–1 in this Test series. The fourth Test between these two teams starts from July 23 at Old Trafford, Manchester. If Team India has to remain in the Test series, then it is necessary to win the fourth Test. If we talk about England, then if he won this, then he will do the series in his name.
