ITV News published this video item, entitled “Ben Stokes says past mental health challenges will assist him as England captain | ITV News” – below is their description.
Ben Stokes has said his past mental health struggles will assist him in his new role as England’s Test cricket captain.
Stokes was the overwhelming candidate to succeed Joe Root when he stood down over Easter, but just last summer he faced an uncertain future as he took a four-month hiatus from the sport.
That decision was brought on by the physical and psychological demands of international cricket and he later admitted he felt in a “dark place” and was “battling difficult thoughts”.
