Born in New Zealand, Stokes moved to England as a child.[4] He made his ODI and T20I debuts in
2011, and his Test debut in 2013. He was part of the England team that won the 2019 Cricket
World Cup, top-scoring with 84 in England's innings in the final before batting in the tied Super
Over, winning the Man of the Match award. He was named the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the
World in 2019 and 2020, and won the ICC Award for Best Men's Cricketer and BBC Sports
Personality of the Year Award in 2019.

An all-rounder, Stokes is a left-handed middle-order batsman and right-arm fast bowler. He holds
the world record for most runs in an innings at number six, scoring 258 against South Africa
during England's 2015-16 tour.[5] In the same Test, he and Jonny Bairstow set the world record
for highest sixth-wicket stand in Tests, at 399.[6]

Early life

Stokes was born on 4 June 1991 in New Zealand, the son of rugby league player and coach, the
late Gerard Stokes, known as 'Ged Stokes', and an English mother, having English and Māori
ancestry.[7] He moved to England at the age of 12[4] after his father was appointed head coach of
Workington Town rugby league club, and grew up in the small West Cumbrian town of
Cockermouth, attending Cockermouth School and playing cricket for Cockermouth Cricket
Club.[8] He won the North Lancashire & Cumbria Cricket League Premier Division Title with the
club as a 15 year old in 2006. His parents subsequently moved back to New Zealand to reside
again in Christchurch;[4] Ged Stokes died in New Zealand on 8 December 2020 due to brain
cancer. [9]

Domestic career

Stokes made his one-day debut for Durham in 2009 at The Oval and managed to take the wicket
of the highly experienced batsman Mark Ramprakash with only his third delivery in professional
cricket. He played in two youth Tests against Bangladesh U19 during 2009, in which he made a
half-century and took a few wickets. He then went on to play in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup,
during which he scored a century against the India Under-19 team.

Stokes made his first-class debut for Durham against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) during
the traditional season opener, which for 2010 was taking place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in
Abu Dhabi. During that match, he bagged a half-century and took one wicket. At the start of the
2010 County Cricket Season, he also made his Championship debut for Durham when he played
in a fixture against Essex. He made his maiden first-class century against Nottinghamshire at
Trent Bridge on 13 May 2010. He has also featured for Durham in the Clydesdale Bank 40-over
competition. Durham's continuing problems with many players becoming injured at the start of
the 2010 season meant that Stokes continued playing in all forms of the game for Durham.[10]
Having had a very successful debut season in first-class cricket, he was given a place in the
England Performance Programme and travelled to Australia during the 2010–11 Ashes.[11]

Stokes was a key member of the Durham side that won the 2013 County Championship, and was
also named Man of the Match in the final of the 2014 Royal London One-Day Cup Final at Lord's,
having scored 38* and taken 2 wickets in a low-scoring game against Warwickshire.[12]

On 2 January 2015, Stokes joined the Melbourne Renegades of Australia's Big Bash League for
the remainder of the season as a replacement for Jesse Ryder, who was ruled out due to an
injury.[13]

On 13 February 2017, Stokes was appointed vice-captain of England's test team, deputising
under Joe Root, who was made captain the same day.[14] In April 2022, he was bought by the
Northern Superchargers for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[15]

Indian Premier League

In February 2017, Stokes was bought by Rising Pune Supergiants to play in the Indian Premier
League during the 2017 season.[16][17] He made his maiden Twenty20 century against Gujarat
Lions, hitting 103 not out from 63 balls, including hitting seven fours and six sixes. He was
named as Most Valuable Player for the 2017 season.[18] For the 2018 season he moved to
Rajasthan Royals having been bought for £1.7million, the most expensive player in the 2018 IPL
auction.[19] In October 2020, he scored 107 not out for Rajasthan Royals as part of an unbeaten
partnership of 152 with Sanju Samson. During the 2021 IPL, Stokes suffered a finger injury which
ruled him out from the entire season after playing in only one match.[20][21] He pulled out of the
2022 edition as he wanted to focus on his country's Test team.[22]

International career

2011–2012 Ireland, India and New Zealand

Stokes made his senior England debut in a One Day International (ODI) against Ireland in August
2011. Stokes was caught and bowled by Paul Stirling for just three runs and did not bowl;
however, he did take a catch.[23]

2013–14 Ashes series

Stokes was selected for the England squad for the 2013–14 Ashes series against Australia. He
became the 658th player to represent England at Test level. He made his debut in the 2nd Test
and took the wickets of Michael Clarke and Peter Siddle before contributing 1 run in England's
first innings. In the second innings, he made 28 runs off 90 balls in England's loss.[24] He was
selected in the 3rd Test and took the wicket of Brad Haddin, he then made 18 off 57 deliveries. In
Australia's second innings he bowled Michael Clarke and took Steve Smith's wicket. In England's
second innings he made his maiden Test century scoring 120 off 195 balls before being
caught.[25] In the first innings of the 4th Test he made 14 runs, then managed to get Shane
Watson out. In the second innings he hit 19 runs and took the wicket of David Warner in
England's loss.[26] Stokes took a career-best 6 wickets for 99 runs in the first innings of the 5th
Test, including the major wickets of captain Clarke for 10 and top-scorer for the innings Steve
Smith for 115. Stokes top scored for England with 47 runs in the first innings to help England
limp to 155 all out. In the second innings he made 32 and finished the series on the losing end of
a 5–0 whitewash. Stokes enjoyed a solid series however finishing as England's third-highest run
scorer with 279 runs and also second-highest wicket taker with 15 wickets. Stokes was the only
English batsman to score a hundred in the series. Stokes was praised for his batting efforts on a
typical fast and bouncy Waca surface against hostile fast bowling of Mitchell Johnson at height
of his bowling powers.[27] The Guardian described Stokes WACA century as The only welcome
positive for the future.[28][29]

2015 Ashes

In the one off T20I against Australia, Stokes took figures of 1–29 as England won by five runs.
Stokes played in all five ODIs against Australia, his best performance with the ball coming in the
second game of the series where he took figures of 3–60, although England lost the match by 59
runs. During the second ODI match of the series against Australia, Stokes was given out
obstructing the field. He became only the sixth batsman to be given out in this manner in an ODI
game.[30] While Stokes never took another wicket in the series, his batting did improve. He
scored 41 in the fourth ODI which England won by 3 wickets. Although England lost the final ODI
to lose the series 3–2, Stokes was one of England's better performers, scoring 42 of their 138
runs.

2015 Pakistan

Stokes was named in the England test squad for the tour against Pakistan hosted in the UAE. In
the first test in Abu Dhabi, he took 4–57 with the ball in Pakistan's first innings before himself
scoring 57 with the bat in England's first innings; the match ultimately ended in a draw when bad
light stopped play on the final day.[31] In the second match of the series Stokes was ineffective,
taking just one wicket in the match and making scores of 4 and 13 with the bat as England
suffered a 127-run defeat. He suffered a shoulder injury in the third and final test in Sharjah,[32]
but still batted at number 11 as England ultimately lost the match and with it the series.[33]

2015–16 South Africa

Stokes returned to full fitness to take his place in England's winter tour of South Africa. While
Stokes did not make a stand out contribution in the first test, England won by 241 runs. In
England's first innings of the second test in Cape Town, Stokes arrived at the crease with
England 167–4, facing a hat-trick ball from Kagiso Rabada. Stokes then hit a career-best score
of 258, which included 30 fours and 11 sixes.[34] It was the second fastest double century in the
history of test cricket (from 167 balls). His sixth wicket stand with Jonny Bairstow (who himself
scored 150 not out) of 399 was a new world record, of which 196 were scored in 25 overs in the
morning session on Day 2 alone.[35] Stokes' innings was ended in bizarre fashion, when after
hitting two successive sixes, he was dropped by AB de Villiers only to be run out having paused
between the wickets. The match finished in a draw with the batsmen dominating the game. In
the third Test Stokes took five wickets as England won, securing a series victory for England. The
fourth and final match of the series was won by South Africa, although Stokes did take another
five wickets, including 4–86 in South Africa's first innings.

In the first Test against India, Stokes made 128 in England's first innings to help them reach 537.
He took one wicket in India's first innings, before making an unbeaten 29. The match ended in a
draw. In the second Test he finished with figures of 1–73 in India's first innings, before making
70 with the bat. He was out for six in England's second innings as they lost by 246 runs. In the
third Test he made 29 in England's first innings, and then took 5–73 in India's first innings. After
making five in the second innings, Stokes failed to pick up another wicket as England suffered
another defeat. In the fourth Test he made 31 in England's first innings score of 400, but failed to
pick up a wicket or make an impression in England's second innings as they lost by an innings
and 36 runs. In the final match of the series, Stokes picked up just one wicket and scored 29
runs in the match as England lost by an innings and 75 runs. For his performances in 2016, he
was named in the World Test XI by the ICC and Cricinfo.[36][37] He was also named in the ODI XI
of the year 2016 by Cricinfo.[37]

2017 South Africa, Champions Trophy and West Indies

Stokes scored his second ODI century against South Africa in the lead-up to the Champions
Trophy, and in the tournament itself his third, against Australia. He was also named as part of
the 'Team of the Tournament' at the 2017 Champions Trophy by the ICC.[38]

He scored 299 runs, including a century at The Oval, and took 7 wickets in a four Test series
against South Africa. In a three Test series against West Indies, he scored 228 runs and took 9
wickets. At Headingley, in the second Test, he scored his fourth Test century, and at Lord's in the
third, he took a career best 6–22 with the ball.

2019 Cricket World Cup

Ben Stokes signing autograph for a fan, after the World cup victory

In April 2019, Stokes was named in England's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[39][40][41]

In the opening match of the tournament against South Africa, he made a score of 89 runs from
79 balls, claimed two wickets, ran out Dwaine Pretorius and took two catches to be declared
"Man of the Match" in a comprehensive 104-run win for England. His catch to dismiss Andile
Phehlukwayo has been described as "one of the greatest catches of all time".[42]

Stokes produced multiple standout performances with the bat later in the group stage. Stokes
was left stranded on 82*, as England were bowled out for 212 in a surprise 20-run defeat to Sri
Lanka.[43] He again proved to be the only resistance to Australia's bowling attack in their
following match, by scoring 89 runs in a chase of 286.[44] England ultimately fell short by 64 runs
as they were bowled out for 221. In a must-win match against India in the following group
match, Stokes played a very important innings, scoring a quick-fire 79 runs in 54 balls, as
England won by 31 runs.[45]

In the final against New Zealand, he scored 84*, including 2 sixes in the final over (one traditional
and one due to overthrows after a ball bounced off Stokes' bat to the boundary), to tie the
game.[46] He then batted in the super over with Jos Buttler, which again was a tie, but England
won the match on the boundary countback rule then in place. For this performance, he was
named man of the match for the second time in the tournament.[47]

He was named in the "Team of the Tournament" for the 2019 World Cup by the ICC.[48]

2019 Ashes
Stokes raising his bat after winning the third Test against Australia

Faced with an incisive Australian bowling attack and Bradmanesque batting contribution from
Steve Smith,[49] Stokes played a pivotal role in enabling England ultimately to draw the 2019
Ashes series 2–2 (although Australia thereby retained the urn). In the third test at Headingley,
England appeared to be heading for certain defeat after they were bowled out for 67 in their first
innings.[50] Stokes managed to overturn an overnight Australian lead, hitting 11 fours and 8 sixes
to win with an unbeaten 135* in a record pursuit of 359.[51] His innings has been described as
"one of the greatest innings of all time" and the "greatest ever played by an Englishman".[52][53]
Stokes's innings was rated by Wisden as the Greatest hundred of the decade (2010's).[54]

He was named as England's player of the series as he ended the series as England's top run-
scorer with 441 runs with 2 hundreds and 2 fifties, while also taking 8 wickets.[55]
 "It's the same with success and failure. There's always the momentum
thing, but you just have to put whatever happened in the past behind
you."

2019 New Zealand

Stokes continued on his good form into the tour of New Zealand. He made scores of 91 and 28
as England slumped to an innings defeat in the first test match of the series.[56] He then made
26 runs in his only innings in the next test, as England drew the match to lose the series.[57]

He was named as the 2019 BBC Sports Personality of the Year,[58] ICC Player of the Year at the
2019 ICC Awards.[59]

2019–20 South Africa

Stokes' form continued into 4-test match tour of South Africa, as he was named player of the
series after scoring 318 runs and taking 10 wickets.[60] Following defeat in the first test, Stokes
put in a "man of the match" performance in the 2nd test. He made scores of 47 and 72, with the
latter from only 47 balls, to set South Africa a target of 437. Stokes then managed to break the
host's resistance, as they fought to draw the game, by taking the final 3 wickets to bowl them out
for 248 runs to level the series.[61] In the following match, his first innings score of 120 was
crucial in setting up an innings win for England, which meant they took a 2–1 lead in the series
going into the final test match.[62] Stokes only made 2 and 28 runs in the final test, but he did
take 4 wickets in the match, as England won by 191 runs to secure a second consecutive away
series win against South Africa.[63]

2020 West Indies

On 17 June 2020, Stokes was included in England's 30-man squad to start training behind closed
doors for the Test series against the West Indies.[64][65] Stokes was named as captain for one of
the teams in the official inter-squad warm-up match. In the absence of regular captain Joe Root
(due to the birth of his child), it was announced that as vice-captain, Stokes would therefore
captain England for the first time.[66] Prior to being named captain, Stokes had never led a side in
a first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket match.[67] In the first Test, Stokes took his 150th wicket,
to become the sixth cricketer to score 4,000 runs and take 150 wickets in Tests,[68] and in the
first innings of the second Test, Stokes scored 176 runs, to record his tenth century in Test
cricket.[69]

2021 Stand-in captain, break, and the Ashes

During the 2021 season, the England limited-over squad suffered a COVID outbreak at the end of
a limited overs series against Sri Lanka. The whole squad, including the captain Eoin Morgan,
had to self-isolate just before a home series against Pakistan.[70] Stokes had not played against
Sri Lanka due to injury, leaving him as the most senior player for the Pakistan ODI matches, for
which he was named captain.[71] He led the inexperienced team, in which he had almost four
times as many ODI appearances as the rest of the team combined,[72] to a nine-wicket victory in
the first match.[73] In the next game of the series against Pakistan, Stokes played in his 100th
ODI match.[74]

On 30 July 2021, it was announced that Stokes would take an "indefinite break" from cricket.[75]
In October 2021, Stokes was added to England's squad for the 2021–22 Ashes series in
Australia.[76]

Test captaincy

On 28 April 2022, Stokes was named as England men's Test captain after Joe Root's
resignation.[2]

Personal life

Stokes became engaged to Clare Ratcliffe in 2013.[77] They married in East Brent, Somerset in
October 2017.[78] They have two children.[79][80][81] Stokes has a tattoo of a family of lions,
symbolising his own family, covering his entire back.[82] Stokes has Maori Ngāpuhi heritage,
which is also shown in one of his tattoos.[83][84] Stokes and his mother received damages in
2021 from The Sun, who in 2019 had run a front-page story about a family tragedy which was
argued to not be in the public interest.[85]

Nightclub incident and affray charge

Following the third ODI against West Indies at Bristol in September 2017, Stokes was arrested
after becoming involved in a street brawl near a nightclub with two men, at which teammate Alex
Hales was also present.[86] This incident led to both players missing the fourth game of the
series, and a hand injury sustained in the brawl also ruled Stokes out of the final game.[87] He
also missed the 2017–18 Ashes and the second Test match against India due to the incident
and the subsequent trial.[88][89] He lost his apparel sponsorship with New Balance over these
incidents.[90]

Stokes was charged on 15 January 2018 with affray along with the two other men, and appeared
before Bristol Magistrates' Court on 13 February 2018.[91] During the trial, which started on 6
August 2018, Stokes said he was defending a gay couple from homophobic abuse from the
other two men, but was accused by the prosecuting lawyer of lying and that he himself had
flicked a cigarette at the gay couple and mocked them.[92][93] He was acquitted on 14 August.[94]
The couple thanked Stokes afterwards for defending them, saying that he "didn't deserve being
put through a trial".[95]

In September 2018, Stokes was charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the England
and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) over the incident in Bristol and social media posts.[96] Stokes
pleaded guilty to the charges, and in December 2018 was fined £30,000 and banned for eight
matches, an exclusion which he had already served by that time.[97]
