The allrounder Ben Stokes was the game-changer for the England team last year. His contribution will always be unforgettable in winning the World Cup and taking the Ashes to draw.

England was about to lose the third Test match of the Ashes at Headingly but Ben Stokes acted as a ray of hope for the cricket lovers. He set up the partnership of 78 runs with jack leach for the last wicket where Leach’s contribution was for one run. So, this proves his ability to turn the game in his favour.

He is among the Top 5 cricketers in the list of most Test runs scored in 2019. In 11 Test matches, he scored 821 runs, striking 2 centuries and four half-centuries. For his stunt in Ashes, he should be awarded the Test cricketer of the year.
