Manchester: Captain England Ben Stokes refused to sign an excessive rate form provided by ICC Match. It will be signing the guilt that his team did not comply with the necessary provisions, but Stokes is of the opinion that there should be various excessive standards for subcontinental conditions and earth hay, where the pitch -landlords are seams for most of the time.After the last test last week, England was sowed by two points of the World Championship (WTC).“The excessive measure is not something I am afraid of, but it does not say that I will deliberately slow down things down. I understand frustration around it, but honestly I think it must be a really hard look at how it is structured.”“In Asia, you can’t have the same rules-where Spinner Bowling is 70% exceeded-like in New Zealand, Australia, England, where it will be 70-80% seam,” he said on Tuesday.

The English team hired Enoka Gilbert, a former mental skills coach with New Zealand rugby and cricket teams.“Me and Baz (McCullum) talked a lot about what we want to do and how we want to move the team forward.”“We can say as much as we want, but we do not have knowledge or experience in pushing teams to the next level. He (Gilbert) was able to express what we want to do much better than what I and the pool ever could do,” Stokes said.
