Stokes Motivates His Team To Put In Extra Effort, Says England Pacer Potts
Ben Stokes: England pacer Matthew Potts credited captain Ben Stokes for motivating the team to put in extra effort after the dominating show on the first day of the third Test against New Zealand. At stumps, New Zealand were 315/9 as Potts and Gus Atkinson shared six wickets between them while Brydon Carse and Stokes grabbed two and one, respectively.
All-rounder Stokes bowled 23 overs in Hamilton, his most in an innings since the summer of 2022. "He can be really proud of his efforts. He leads the team by example," Potts told BBC Sport. "He probably won't want to take the credit, but when we see him doing special things like that, it motivates you to put in that extra 1% for the team," he added.
Stokes has faced limitations in his bowling due to injuries in recent years. After undergoing surgery on a long-standing left knee issue last year, he suffered a hamstring injury in August shortly after regaining full fitness.
