Stokes is once-in-a-generation player, England will miss him in ODIs: Buttler
The HinduEngland white-ball captain Jos Buttler has described Ben Stokes as “once-in-a-generation player”, while his predecessor Eoin Morgan hailed him as a “true leader” after the star all-rounder retired from ODIs, leaving the cricket world shocked. “People who play like Ben are once-in-a-generation players, so it’s a good challenge for us to work out our best way forward as a team without him,” Buttler said after the match. There’s a bit of sadness that Ben is no longer available in this form of the game but our loss in ODI cricket is certainly going to be England’s gain in Test cricket,” Buttler said. “That’s his favoured format and his priority, especially now he’s captain, and I’m sure it will give him much more longevity in the purest form of the game,” Buttler said.
