Andrew Strauss urged Ben Stokes to keep his feet on the ground after the England all-rounder earned hero status with his role in their incredible World Cup final triumph. Stokes scored 84 not out against New Zealand at Lord’s on Sunday to force a Super Over in which he and Jos Buttler pushed England towards their first World Cup crown. “What will be hard for Ben going forward is the levels of adulation he’ll receive,” Strauss said on Tuesday. I spent a long time with Clare, his wife, waiting for him to come out of the jail,” Strauss said. “I think if he (Jofra) is fit enough to get through a Test match, he plays,” Strauss said.
