'Filthy! Outrageous!' Stumped presenters let fly over Stokes rest

Stumped

Available for over a year

Stumped presenters Clint Wheeldon and Charu Sharma hit out at England for their decision to rest star all-rounder Ben Stokes for a Twenty20 international against West Indies. The game, on 16 September, is a sell-out at Stokes' Durham home ground of Chester-le-Street. England coach Trevor Bayliss said resting Stokes was "a collective decision between the management and the player." But the Stumped presenters were outraged, likening the decision to Sachin Tendulkar missing a match in his home city of Mumbai, or Adam Gilchrist in Perth.
