Stubbs has bathed in that role in the five games and averaged 58 with one hundred and fifty, but the team’s management has preferred the young man at number 5 for the important final of the World Cup World Testing Championship (WTC) that paid dividends as they finished their 27 -year wait for an ICC trophy at the beginning of this month in Lord’s.
