World Cup 2019 Final: Overjoyed for Ben but I am still a New Zealand supporter, says Stokes's father

India Today  

Ben Stokes might have won England the World Cup but his Kiwi-origin father Gerard Stokes has admitted that he will remain a New Zealand fan despite being happy for his son's feat. Gerard, who is long-time Black Caps fan also said that even though New Zealand couldn't win the trophy, he doesn't necessarily mind the cup not being shared between the two finalists after the match ended in a tie. Hand on heart, I am overjoyed for Ben and the team, but I am still a New Zealand supporter," Gerard told 1Newsnow. Gerard doesn't mind the last part as 'there's always got to be a winner in a World Cup' " would've been nice but there's always got to be a winner in a World Cup," he told Newstalk ZB.
