Stokes, aiming to operate as a genuine all-rounder with England once again this season following knee surgery, dismissed Josh Bohannon, captain of the second-string England Lions and New Zealand’s Tom Bruce during his return to Championship action in a First Division match against Lancashire at Blackpool.
Stokes ended the opening day with figures of 2-70 from 17 overs. But it was his former Durham teammate Keaton Jennings who took centre stage at Blackpool, the ex-England opener scoring 115 in a Lancashire total of 350-9. Stokes, 32, has ruled himself out of England’s T20 World Cup title defence in the USA and the Caribbean next month in order to make sure he can be selected as a fully-fledged all-rounder in Test cricket.
