Transcript
00:00How does it feel to be saying goodbye to Ben Stokes?
00:03Strange
00:05I've played with and against Ben since being 12 years old
00:10It's sort of all I've ever known
00:12Being in and around this team
00:14He's obviously been forever present throughout my whole career
00:18We've been through quite a lot together
00:22Various different things on and off the field
00:25There aren't many players that you can say
00:27I have questioned how to play the game
00:30And I think the impact that he's had
00:34Especially over the last 4 years
00:36And as a leader
00:40Has left a massive mark on the game
00:44And clearly his individual performances
00:49Both as a captain and as a player previous to that
00:53Are remarkable really
00:55He's one of those guys you always want in your team
00:57Can make things happen out of nowhere
00:59And clearly we're going to miss him
01:02Thank you
01:02No
01:02I don't know
