England Should Try Stokes At No. 3 In Tests Instead Of Pope, Opines Vaughan
New Delhi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan said the side should try to make skipper Ben Stokes bat at number three in upcoming Test assignments in place of Ollie Pope, who he feels is lacking in composure.
In England’s disappointing 2-1 series defeat to Pakistan, Pope managed to score just 55 runs across three matches at an average of 11. Their next Test assignment will be a three-match tour of New Zealand starting from November 27.
"Pope is a good player, and a great lad who clearly brings a lot to this environment, which places great stock in togetherness and getting on well. Making a big change like this is never easy, and England will not want to. But his returns suggest he does not have the mentality or technique to thrive against the very best bowlers.
