Ben foakes

Watch: Foakes had a role to play in England reaching 501-7 in the first innings, contributing with an unbeaten 62-ball 48 from No.7. He returned to keep wicket as the Lions’ middle order underwent a brief stutter following a 179-run opening stand. Off the first ball of the 68th over, Foakes conjured a piece of athletic brilliance. Standing up to off-spinner Will Jacks, Foakes was quick to respond to a ball straying way down the leg side. Haynes, the batter, followed it, straying out of his crease. Foakes fell to his knees as he completed the take: yet, with one astonishingly swift move, managed a backhanded flick at the stumps. The ball, remarkably, hit the stumps, finding Haynes short of his crease. It’s the latest addition to Foakes’ long list of behind-the-stumps highlights, which have rightly led to his reputation as one of the Watch the Foakes stumping here: Ben Foakes: Good wicketkeeper 🔥 — England Cricket (@englandcricket)

By India Today Sports Desk: Arshdeep Singh picked up his maiden wicket for Kent after he dismissed Ben Foakes in the County Championship Division 1 match against Surrey at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury. In the penultimate ball of the 22nd over, Arshdeep bowled one from over the wicket and angled the ball into the batter. Foakes was caught on the crease and was struck on the pads. Arshdeep and his teammates appealed in unison, after which the on-field umpire raised his finger. His wicket reduced Surrey to 42 for the loss of five wickets in 21.5 overs. Earlier, Kent scored 301 in 82.2 overs after opting to bat first. Jordan Cox was their star performer as he scored 133 runs off 198 balls with 17 fours and two sixes. Joe Evison and Wes Agar also scored 58 and 51 respectively. Arshdeep Singh has his first The Sean Abbott was the pick of the bowlers for Surrey after he finished with impressive figures of 17-3-52-4. Jordan Clark and Gus Atkinson also picked up two wickets apiece. Dan Worrall and Dan Moriarty picked up one wicket apiece. Thereafter, Matt Quinn and Agar accounted for three scalps apiece and reduced Surrey to 60 for seven in 27.4 overs. Arshdeep also didn’t allow the batters to score runs off him. Arshdeep has grown leaps and bounds for India over the last 12 months since his debut on the 2022 tour of England. He also went on to play in the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the T20 World Cup 2022 on Australian soil.

W elcome to the reboot. The costumes are the same and you’ll recognise some of the main characters, but there’s no doubt that the West Indies tour that begins this coming week is meant to kick off a new narrative arc for the failing franchise that is the England men’s team. Clearly, Andrew Strauss was impressed by what Tom Holland did for Spider-Man: England have landed in Antigua with a young cast bursting with peppy enthusiasm. They have also dropped their two legacy stars; for those of us still contemplating the pointlessness of a Sex and the City sequel without Samantha, For those who struggle to remember those pre-Covid years, Foakes arrived for England’s last West Indies tour “on cloud nine”, in his words, after a sensational start to his Test career in Sri Lanka where he scored a “It’s fair to say at the time I thought I might get a slightly longer run,” he says. “But when you’re new into a team and you are losing then I guess you are vulnerable.” Confused and disappointed, he stumbled through the following season for Surrey averaging 26.13 and losing all pleasure in the game. Foakes says he has since realised it was simply a case of burnout. Playing in every format for his county and touring with England and the Lions each winter, without the built-in breaks afforded by a central contract, had taken its toll. “When you’re on the fringes for that number of years it can wear you down mentally,” he says. “It’s definitely something that all players on the fringes have ...

Jonny Bairstow returns to the England Test squad after being named in Three Lions' contingent for the one-off Test match against Ireland. Veteran England speedster James Anderson has also been named in the 15-member squad by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Tuesday even though he had sustained a minor groin injury while playing for Lancashire in the previous week. Bairstow replaces Ben Foakes in the side for the four-day fixture scheduled to be played at the Lord's from June 1. In addition, seamer Chris Woakes also returns to the Test squad for the first time since his last appearance in March 2022. If the Warwicshire seamer does get a place in the Playing 11, he will play his first Test match on the home soil since August 2020. ECB Managing Director for England Men's Cricket Rob Key spoke about Bairstow's selection and the decision to leave out Foakes. "It was a seriously tough decision to leave Ben Foakes out of the squad. He has been excellent for England in the last year, but Jonny Bairstow is one of the best players in the world whose performances last summer epitomised what we are about," he was quoted as saying in an official release. Meanwhile, England's speedster Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the Ashes series. Archer had spent nearly one and a half years on the sidelines to recover from his elbow and back injuries before he returned to international cricket in January earlier this year. Mumbai Indians, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise who...

Ben Foakes has been left out of England’s 15-man squad (Picture: Getty Images) You have to feel sorry for Ben Foakes, who has done pretty much everything right but ultimately found himself the fall guy to make room for Jonny Bairstow in There is absolutely no doubt Bairstow should be included after injury following his stellar 2022, when he averaged 66.31 in ten Tests, scored half-a-dozen centuries and became the face of Bazball, with a bar-emptying strike-rate of 76. He suits the attacking instincts of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum to a tee and even though barely back in action after his broken leg, he was always going to return if available. Naked Attraction celeb special in the works with Anna Richardson teasing names It is really Harry Brook’s emergence, essentially leaving all the middle-order spots taken, that’s resulted in Foakes making way – the wonderful wicketkeeper and very decent bat, losing out to Bairstow, the match-winning batter who is a perfectly good keeper. But was there another way Foakes (with a not-too-shabby 38.90 average under Stokes) could still have been retained? There was talk of Bairstow, Brook or even the captain moving to the top of the order where Zak Crawley (with a first-class average hovering around 30, which drops to 27.60 in 33 Tests) has been included again. Jonny Bairstow has donned the gloves for Yorkshire and will again for England (Picture: Rex) None of that trio have ever done the job in Tests and you can understand the reluctan...
