‘Not crying’ – Ben Stokes says that England players will be fine with the words exchanged in the ENG vs Indig tests


Playing the highest level cryket is not for the weak heart. Having high levels of skill and being fit are the essential, but the ability to soak up in the pressures of the International Cricket requires that a player grows a thick skin.

Playing in India, Australia or England means tolerating the hostility of partisan crowds and also participating in verbal duels with the opponents that can remove the approach from the moment.

The Indians have traditionally been worthy visitors during most of their history, but the 21st century announced a change in dynamics when they also began to go back in the sandwiches.

The verbal side of the game of India that began to develop under the aggressive and highly vocal captaincy of Sourav Ganguly and was at its maximum when Virat Kohli told James Anderson: “You are not playing in your rear patio Jimmy” shortly after ordering their men to show England ’60 overs’ in 2021.

The 2025 series was a saga itself, since India was injured from her defeats from the series against New Zealand and Australia, while England had to be loose with her teasing knowing that the ashes in Australia will be more unpleasant.

After the six -run victory with Indian serial level in the final test, Stokes was sure that none of the teams would take any of the words in the field seriously.

“There will always be times when the emotion leaves both sides, in particular when the game is at stake. I have said it a few times before, but I don’t think any of my boys go to sleep crying for what was said. And I don’t think any of the Indian players have been lying down what was said,” said the Skipper of England in the presentation after the game on Monday.

Stokes, who finished the series with 17 WICKETS and 304 four -test races, said the intensity was necessary from both sides when they had a lot at stake.

“I think he only shows that, you know, the passion and the desire that everyone who comes out representing their country with the flag of their nation in his chest means,” Stokes added.

India and England will take a few weeks free before going to their next tasks in September: the Asia Cup in the EAU for the Indian series and Ball White-Ball against South Africa for England.
