The Ashes: Dropped In Favour Of Bairstow, Ben Foakes Admits To Feeling Lost After Ashes Snub
Regarded among the finest wicketkeepers globally, Ben Foakes was dropped in favour of a returning Jonny Bairstow for the Ashes series that England levelled 2-2 against Australia, despite scoring a fifty and century in three Tests. It was a snub that left the 30-year-old Foakes feeling lost initially as he was dropped despite some good performances. Foakes watched the Ashes from the sidelines as Bairstow, who was returning from a long-term injury, was preferred by the England team management for his batting prowess.
Though Bairstow justified his selection with the bat, he was guilty of dropping several chances which brought his wicket-keeping under the scanner multiple times during the Ashes.
