England's new Captain: Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes could be England new Captain in the first test against west indies. After the new dates for the tour against west indies has announced and the possible clash with the birth of second Child Joe Root with draw himself for the first test.
The England and Wales Cricket Board on Tuesday revealed the dates and venues for the series next month with a series opener at Hampshire’s Ageas Bowl from July 8 and the second and third Tests played at Old Trafford from July 16 and 24 respectively.
Test captain Root returned to training at Trent Bridge on Monday in anticipation of the series but with his wife, Carrie set to give birth in just a few weeks, he might end up watching cricket’s big return from the labour ward.
The England captain said on Tuesday that he would attend the birth come what may, with Stokes in line to take over. Root has no doubt the star all-rounder would take with the extra burden that comes with the captaincy.
“I think if Ben was captain he would be fantastic,” said Root
“One of his great qualities as vice-captain and as a leader is he sets the example, the way he goes about his training, how he wants to bowl in difficult circumstances, the way he stands up in different scenarios with the bat. He drags people with him and gets the best out of the players around him.
Now, Stokes has shown his commitment to lead the team in the absence of Root.
“I understand where Joe is taking the team and how he wants to lead it. So although I’ll make my own calls on the field and do the job as I see it as the game evolves, everything else will very much be the same as when Joe is there,” he added.
West Indies are due to play three Tests and a T20I in England and it will be first International tour since cricket activities were ban for over three months due to COVID-19 outbreak
