Ben Stokes has questioned the decision to make Joe Root England Test captain following his retirement 🚨

No he didnt! Please watch the podcast. He supported Root and just wants him to look after himself.

Such an awful headline, huge spin for the sake of clicks. Media plays such a huge role in piling on pressure to English sports teams.

I think you guys should be questioned for your journalism. Instead, Ben Stokes wished him well and said he hopes he's successful

I think if Ben wanted a say if these things he should have hung around and not threw the towel in. Time to move on from Ben and start talking to / about players who want to play for England.

Clickbait. Listen to the podcast before making headlines. A complete twist on words the exact reason Stokes had had enough.

So who did he want to captain England

Ginger Steptoe showing once again he’s a fucking cretin with appalling judgement.

Ben who? Oh yes, the big I am, who announced his retirement in the middle a game.

Media are scum. Not what he said 😂

Wait, what is happening behind the scenes?! Drama in the England camp 😳🏏 #BenStokes #JoeRoot #Cricket

Ben Stokes talking about captaincy like he didn’t already look permanently knackered from carrying England himself

"England making Brook vice-captain then bypassing him for Root isn't just mixed messaging, it's telling their next generation leader he's not trusted yet — no wonder Stokes is calling it out."

Pretty misleading, it was referring to Brook

Here's hoping that Stokes will fade into oblivion and we don't have to here his nauseous statements about anything. Will never forget him punching that guy with his arms down and defenceless, and being cleared of 'affray'... (-;

Watch the actual podcast. Stokes backed Root 100% and just cares about his wellbeing. ‘Questioned the decision’ is pure spin.

Root has the experience and respect, but captaincy is a completely different challenge. England need to be certain they aren't choosing a legend simply because he's the obvious name.

stokes asking why root got the armband is a bit rich when half the country would’ve given it to the bloke with the best stare and a county ground parking pass. proper England chaos, that.

Harry brook is a great player but has no brain at all

@FairytaleClive Interesting perspective from Ben Stokes. Captaincy decisions are never easy, and everyone will have an opinion. Joe Root gave everything for England as captain, but it’s fair to reflect on whether things could have been handled differently.

"England making Brook vice-captain then bypassing him for Root isn't just mixed messaging, it's telling their next generation leader he's not trusted yet — no wonder Stokes is calling it out."

ben stokes should have never been test captain

Absolutely shocking headline

Joe Root is the best choice available on the bench.

As has every other England fan.

Ben stokes is greatest english test cricketer in the last 150 years and the best living all rounder in test cricket.

Full video here:

Maybe Root is just doing it short term while they get Harry Brook ready for captaincy. Let Brook settle as the one day captain before throwing him into the deep end. No other real candidates in the squad for captain

Shite journalism! Thats not what he said about Root! This was about Brook!!!

Sit down Stokes mate. You walked away let it carry on without you

Clickbait headline. @SkySportsNews embarrassing from you
