Stokes: India’s Talent Pool Makes Them a Threat, Despite Absences

England’s Ben Stokes has warned against complacency as his team prepares to face India in a five-Test series. Despite missing key players like Kohli, Sharma, and Ashwin, Stokes insists England won’t underestimate their opponents. He recognized India’s deep talent pool, highlighting that whoever fills in will be a tough challenge. Stokes, familiar with India’s young talent from the IPL, anticipates a difficult contest. He also noted the importance of Jasprit Bumrah, even with limited availability. For England, this series marks the beginning of their World Test Championship campaign and the test of their aggressive ‘Bazball’ approach against a strong Indian side.
