Read on to know all about Ben Stokes makes a comeback in ODI world cup 2023.
Ben Stokes, the great all-around player for England’s Test team, came out of his ODI retirement on August 16 to play in the ODI World Cup, which was stunning news at the time.

Ben Stokes makes a comeback:
On social media, there were numerous reports of Stokes’ comeback earlier. According to such rumours, Stokes will bat for England’s ODI team in the middle order. He will be selected by the English squad as a batting specialist, though, as he is not yet totally healthy to bowl all 10 of his team’s overs. He performed similarly in the recently finished Ashes series, where he didn’t bowl much and batted in the middle of the order.
A source cited by Sportstar said, “Ben Stokes is ready to pull off a stunning U-turn and resume playing one-day international cricket to support England’s World Cup defence in India this year, even if it means skipping the Indian Premier League the next year. The England Test skipper now seems willing to participate in the World Cup if Jos Buttler so requests it.”
“Stokes will probably bat for England in the middle order in ODI matches. England is willing to select him as a specialist batter, resembling the role he played at various points during this summer’s Ashes series, despite concerns about how much bowling he could do.” The source continued.
Fans have made the comeback of Ben Stokes trending on social media. Twitter is currently buzzing with Tweets of Ben Stokes Hashtags. So, this was all about the buzz of Ben Stokes makes a comeback. Also read, Kapil Dev on Hardik Pandya’s return to India’s Test squad.
