Ben Stokes will be the key player for England

Ben Stokes played a very important role for England in the World Cup and was the hero of the final. He also played some crucial knocks throughout the tournament, contributed in all three departments and was England's go-to player. He finished with 465 runs at an average of 66 and picked up seven wickets.

England will be hoping that a player such as the caliber of Stokes, who is an asset in all departments of the game brings his best to the field and contributes to his best potential.

Owing to a controversy that kept the star all-rounder away from the Ashes in 2017-18, Stokes has a huge role to play for England in this series and if he can contribute they way he did in the World Cup, England can certainly fancy their chances of regaining the Ashes.
