David Gower is trying to imagine scoring a hundred at a biosecure Test match, watched only by a chosen few. David Gower believes Ben Stokes will benefit from focusing on his game without the pressure of captaincy, suggesting he is most effective as 'a leader by example' in the England team‘When you walk out at Lord’s or the MCG, you feel the buzz,’ says Gower. In that case, the captaincy would pass for the first time to Ben Stokes — a scenario that leaves Gower with a faintly uncomfortable sense of déjà vu. I’ve said it before, but I prefer Ben Stokes to be your de facto leader by example. The Lord’s Taverners is the UK’s leading youth cricket and disability sports charity.
