New Delhi. England suffered a 2-wicket defeat in the first Test of the Ashes series against Australia at Edgbaston. After this result, the decision of England captain Ben Stokes to declare the first innings early is being criticized all around. But, it doesn’t matter to Stokes. He defended his decision after losing the match. The England captain said that we had not made any mistake. In future too, we will play cricket in the same style.

Let us tell you that on the very first day, Captain Ben Stokes had declared England’s first innings at a score of 393 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. At that time Joe Root was playing by scoring 118 runs and Ollie Robinson was at the other end. England had a chance to add some more runs to that score, but Stokes had declared the innings to everyone’s surprise. Many former England captains and sports experts are considering this decision of Stokes as the reason for England’s defeat. But, Stokes made it clear that he will continue to play in the same style.

Will play in the same style in the future: Stokes
Ben Stokes said in the post-match press conference, “What if we continue in this position? And with only 20 minutes left to play, I would be happy to declare the innings at 398/6.”

‘I am not a captain with ifs and buts’
The English captain further said, “We saw this as an opportunity to clamp down on Australia and took a decision. No batsman wants to bat in the last 20 minutes. We thought we had a chance to dominate Usman Khawaja and David Warner. Let me make it clear that there is no scope for further change in the kind of cricket I am playing. who knew? It is possible that we could have scored 40 more runs or 2 wickets would have fallen in 2 balls. I am not a captain with ifs and buts. I have no regrets for declaring the innings early.
