Stokes Joins Adelaide Strikers | Belfast News

Ben Stokes is back in action, signing his first overseas T20 deal since retiring from international cricket—joining the Adelaide Strikers for the Big Bash League. Set to play the entire tournament from mid-December to January 26th, Stokes will earn around £260k and will be playing while England tours South Africa. His return follows a surprise exit from international duty earlier this year amid contract disputes, after which he resumed county cricket with Durham. The Strikers’ coach, Tim Paine, hailed him as one of the greatest all-rounders and a pressure-performer, expecting huge fan appeal. Though Stokes has no current plans to return to Test cricket, the door remains open for future opportunities, especially with the Ashes looming.
