England star Ben Stokes was named the Wisden Almanack\u2019s leading men\u2019s cricketer in the world for the third time in four years on Monday.
\nStokes was selected for his dynamic captaincy of England\u2019s Test team in 2022, as well as his match-winning performance in the T20 World Cup final.
\nThe all-rounder, who appears on the cover of the 160th edition of Wisden alongside England Test head coach Brendon McCullum, previously won the award in 2019 and 2020.
\nStokes has masterminded 10 wins in 12 matches since taking over as England skipper, with his attacking and imaginative approach revitalising a previously moribund team.
\nStokes also made waves in the white-ball game, helping to deliver the silverware for England\u2019s T20 side as his half-century settled the final against Pakistan in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
